Many unmarried couples own the property in which they live jointly. Some couples decide to renovate second properties as a joint venture.
If your relationship has broken down, our family lawyers can advise you on the ownership of property and other assets, the impact of your separation and potential claims you or your partner might have. This is a complex area of law requiring consideration of trusts and property law and we can guide you through it with the assistance of colleagues from our real estate and private client teams if necessary.
Our team of family law solicitors will also provide you with information about the options available to you to resolve any disagreements about the ownership of property, such as negotiation, mediation and collaborative practices, although ultimately, if no agreement is reached, an application to court may be necessary.
For more information or advice from our family law specialists, please contact Jane Keir on + 44 (0)20 7814 1200 or email jkeir@kingsleynapley.co.uk.
