Notice of severance of a joint tenancy
This document is used to sever a 'joint tenancy' of property and, if the property is registered, to register that change at the Land Registry. This converts a joint tenancy into a tenancy in common.
This document creates two copies of a notice of severance and, if the property is registered at the Land Registry, a form SEV and a covering letter to the Land Registry.
This document can only be used in in relation to property in England or Wales, of which there are one or two owners and two joint tenants.
Land Registry forms are reproduced with the permission of HM Land Registry.
