Why People Might Transfer Ownership of Property
There are many different reasons why a property owner might transfer ownership rather than sell their property:
The ending of a marriage might see one party transfer their ownership of the property to the other party as part of the divorce settlement.
Ownership of the property might be transferred to a company for taxation purposes.
An individual property owner might sign ownership over to their spouse as a means of minimising business risk.
If a property is joint owned and one of the owners has passed away.
Parents might choose to gift their property to their child or children.
The use of a legal transfers conveyancing specialist can be beneficial for a number of reasons.
