When couples buy a property together, the way they legally own it can have a major impact later down the line, especially if the relationship breaks down or one person passes away.

Joint tenants and tenants in common are often confused, but the differences between them can affect inheritance, ownership shares and what happens on separation.

In this blog, Chris Maulkin from our Brighton office breaks down what each arrangement means, the key differences and why it is important to understand what you have in place.

In this blog, Craig Yeung-Williams, Associate Solicitor and Mediator, explains how the law approaches the family home and what your options may be.
