Law of Property (Joint Tenants) Act 1964 (1964 c 63)

The Law of Property (Joint Tenants) Act 1964 addresses the administration of property held in joint tenancy, specifically focusing on simplifying the sale or disposition of property when one co-owner dies. The Act allows the survivor to unilaterally sever the joint tenancy and convert it into a tenancy in common without cumbersome procedures. This change ensures smoother property transactions and mitigates legal complications arising from the death of a joint tenant, providing clarity in property ownership and facilitating efficient management and capitalisation of jointly held assets.
