Property Ownership Transfer Options
Summary
Tenants in common allows distinct ownership shares, which can be unequal and transferred independently. Joint ownership involves equal shares with right of survivorship. Transferring property in unequal shares, like 1/3 and 2/3, requires updating the property title and ensuring compliance with legal and tax obligations. Consult a lawyer and accountant for guidance on legal documentation and tax implications. Ensure the transfer is documented as a change in ownership percentage, not a sale, to comply with superannuation laws.Full Conversation
what's is the difference between Tenants in common and joint ownership of a residential property
Hey Chriswin! Here’s a quick rundown of the differences:
- Tenants in Common:
- Each owner has a distinct share of the property.
- Shares can be unequal.
- Owners can sell or transfer their share independently.
- No right of survivorship; share goes to heirs.
- Joint Ownership (Joint Tenancy):
- Equal ownership shares.
- Right of survivorship; share automatically passes to other owners upon death.
- Owners must act jointly in transfers.
Do you have any specific concerns regarding your property ownership?
