How do i get a name off of property deeds?

This is a bit of a complicated issue to fully explain on the forum,but i would like to know the easiest way to remove a persons name from the property deeds and how i go about doing it?

The property has no mortgage on it.
Many thanks in advance.

My initial reaction is that you can''t. To transfer the ownership of property there has to be a deed. and that has to be signed by all the owners.

The only way I know would be if joint owners hold property as '' joint tenants '' which in plain English, means that if either joint owner dies, the survivor gets the whole of property by operation of law.

If an owner dies, his personal representatives can carry out a disposition on behalf of the deceased.

Do you have your ex''s cooperation in putting the property into your sole name? If so then see a conveyancing solicitor who can do it very cheaply, maybe around £300-500.

If not then you''ll need a financial order (Consent Order or court order).

The situation is that my father wants to remove my mother from the house deeds at his house as she has been dishonest and cheated him out of many thousands of pounds,and has asked me to find out how to do it.
She will cooperate as we,the family have explained to her that its for the best as she just cannot be trusted.

To be perfectly honest that sounds very sinister.

Er - hang on a bit.

What is the value of her half share ? Let''s say it''s £50,000 and the amount of money she swindled is £10,000. Not very fair to take away all her interest, is it ?

There may be other ways of doing it, like converting your ownership to a tenancy in common, so that in example I gave, you might be entitled to 60% and she the other 40$.

What is more, any solicitor who knew these circumstances would, without doubt, advise your mother to take legal advice before doing anything.

Also surely whoevers name its in its matrimonial property and her entitlement wouldn''t cease simply because shes not on deeds?!
