The challenge
Three family members jointly inherited a property, but the original title documents were incomplete and each party had a different understanding of their share and their rights to use the home.
Our approach
We traced the property’s ownership history through land registry records, wills and prior transfers to establish each party’s legal interest. We then explained the options clearly: a buyout, a sale, or a formal co-ownership agreement.
Throughout, we kept communication open between all parties so that the legal process did not damage family relationships further.
The outcome
The parties agreed on a structured buyout, the title was corrected, and our client’s ownership interest was fully protected and documented.
