Severance of Joint Tenancy Pack

Most couples buy as joint tenants without ever discussing it — and joint tenancy quietly defeats a lot of sensible planning, because you can't leave your half of the house in your will.

This pack for England & Wales contains the statutory notice of severance (section 36(2), Law of Property Act 1925), an acknowledgement of service, step-by-step instructions for serving it — including on an uncooperative co-owner — and a guide to filing Land Registry Form SEV yourself. One co-owner can do the whole job alone; the other's agreement isn't required.

• Ready-to-use notice with wording that actually severs
• How to check your title register first
• Service routes with the evidence to keep
• Frank warnings on divorce, schemes and irreversibility

Instant PDF download. England & Wales only. Information, not legal advice — and if your situation needs a real conversation, every download includes an invitation to book a free chat with a Squiggle specialist.
