Will writing<\/b><\/a> solicitors often say that when people believe they don\u2019t need a Will, it is usually because they believe that the family home will <\/span>automatically pass to their spouse or partner<\/b><\/a>. And when people do write a Will it is out of concern about inheritance and the family home. They want to make sure their partner can continue to live at the property.<\/span><\/p>\n

It may come as a surprise to many that if they jointly own a family home, their share in the property <\/span>won\u2019t necessarily pass<\/b><\/a> by their Will (or under intestacy rules if they do not make a Will).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether your share in the family home passes under your Will or not depends on whether you own the jointly owned property as joint tenants or as tenants in common.<\/span><\/p>\n
