Changing Joint Tenancy Ontario
Summary
In Ontario, a joint tenant can sever joint tenancy unilaterally, converting it to tenancy in common, without notifying the other owner. This can be done by transferring their interest to themselves, to someone else, or registering a form on title. Once severed, it generally cannot be reversed without mutual consent. If one owner dies and the other faces tax implications, legal remedies may be available.Full Conversation

Sure! Here's more detailed information on each method:
- Transferring their interest to themselves: This involves the joint tenant executing a deed or transfer document where they transfer their share of the property from themselves as a joint tenant to themselves as a tenant in common.
- Transferring their interest to someone else: This method requires the joint tenant to transfer their interest in the property to another party, who can then become a tenant in common. This transfer must be registered to be effective.
- Registering a form on title indicating their intention to sever: The joint tenant can register a document, such as a Notice of Severance, on the title of the property. This document expresses their intention to sever the joint tenancy and convert it to a tenancy in common.
