Hello
Me and my now ex wife helped my Mother buy her house 25 years ago. We each then owned a third. I have since divorced and i got my wife's third of my Mums house as part of the divorce settlement. How do I get my ex wifes name off the deeds?
Thanks
Andy

Hello Andrew - You would need to transfer the whole of the title from three of you to whoever is intended to be the new legal owner.

Please refer to the guidance for transfer of whole of the title on our website using the link attached - https://www.gov.uk/registering-land-or-property-with-land-registry/transfer-ownership-of-your-property

Thank you Nimish
Is that right?
We want to keep me ad Mum on the deed and just take my wife off as she does not now own a third.
TIA

Andrew - So all three of you would have to transfer the title to you and your mother.
