Tenants in Common, Inheritance Tax & Order for Sale
Buying property as tenants in common offers significant benefits for co-owners, particularly regarding inheritance tax planning and asset protection. Unlike joint tenants, tenants in common each own a distinct share of the property, which can be passed on through your Will rather than automatically transferring to the surviving co-owner.
The benefits of tenants in common include inheritance tax advantages, protection from care home fees, and flexibility in passing property to children from previous relationships. Tenants in common ownership allows each co-owner to leave their share to beneficiaries of their choice, potentially reducing inheritance tax liability through careful estate planning.
When disputes arise between co-owners, you may need to apply for an Order for Sale under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA). An Order for Sale forces the sale of jointly-owned property when co-owners cannot agree, resolving deadlocks in property disputes.
Our Enfield property solicitors advise on tenants in common arrangements, inheritance tax planning, and applications for Orders for Sale. Contact Adel Jibs & Co Solicitors at 02034173859 for expert property law advice.
