I am utterly confused. As part of my divorce settlement and detailed in my consent order. is that I remain in the family home but my husband gives me 25% extra share in it's value. Effectively he gets 25% of its value when I eventually sell.  In order for the LReg to reflect this I understand I need to fill in AP1 ID1 and TP1. 

Form AP1
3: I've put the application affects the whole of the title - is this correct?
4. I've put 'transfer of share' (value of house is 850k) so 850/4x1 = 212.5K fee paid £150 or seeing as no money is currently changing hands is the value 0?

14: Me as the transferee (receiving 25% more share) but do I need to add this? 
Him as the transferor giving up 25% of his share.   Do I need to add anything more here?

Thanks!

Julie - such things can be confusing as whilst filling in and submitting paper forms can seem simple it's really a case of understanding what's actually required and why first. Then things can be a lot clearer.
We register the legal ownership and not the specific 'shares' you refer to for example. And the legal ownership is only ever transferred as a whole, so 100%
Form TP1 is used to transfer a physical piece of the property such as part of the garden. It's not used to transfer a 'share' in the scenario you describe
Are you trying to transfer the whole of the legal ownership from the two of you to just you? And if so how is his 25% share going to be protected?
If the ownership is already joint and there's a form A (joint ownership) restriction on the register then you may not have to do anything with us. The change in % share in the beneficial ownership (value) isn't something we include on the register - Joint property ownership: Overview - GOV.UK
These are Qs you should both get legal advice/assistance on as the answers will then help you understand what forms are needed and how to apply

Land registration is complex, designed to protect legal and financial interests in property. There can be significant consequences for any error. Please consider seeking legal representation. Find out about making an application without legal representation.

Thanks so much for the reply. I was starting to get stressed and this is a great help.  I'm not trying to transfer the whole property to me - it is currently 50/50 and it is agreed in a final order document that I get a 75% share. I was worried that he could take out loans etc on a 50% share if it isn't legally specified somewhere that there is change to % ownership. I think I have been looking in the wrong place. Back to the drawing board!!

OK, so I have since discovered that I have a JO form completed but apparently this needs to be sent in with the AP1 but I have no idea why or what to put on this form. As the house is still registered under both our names is this necessary?

Sorry I have re-read your reply above.  Is the JO form sent to Land Registry? As we sent this and it was returned and we were told to submit an AP1 with it...

Julie - you are starting multiple threads when there is really no need. There is no 'forum community' to offer their thoughts - just HMLR 

Can you share your property address/title number please so I can see what the current register states?
