TRANSFER OF EQUITY SOLICITORSÂ
What is a transfer of equity?
Transfer of equity is the name given to the legal process of changing the legal ownership of a property, either to add or remove someone from the title, and can be done for a variety of reasons. Whether buying an ex-partner out of a property or adding a new partner, as part of estate planning or for tax reasons, it is important to speak to an expert legal adviser to guide you through the process.
