The conveyancing for equity transfers, where you need to change the legal ownership status of a property, can be complex. You may want to change the legal title of your property as a result of changes in your relationship status, such as marriage, divorce or re-marriage. Perhaps your financial advisor has suggested you reduce inheritance tax liabilities by transferring ownership to children or by altering the proportion of the property owned by different co-owners.
