How do I get out of a tenancy in common that I never agreedto in the first place?
 
Transferred by mother to 4 offspring. Not harmonious. Can't work out how it was transferred without permission or even knowledge. But am told huge rigmarole and v expensive to even see paperwork. And that all would have to agree to any change.
 
It is an awful lot easier to give some informed advice if the situation is made clear. The pithy few liners given above are not helpful in that regard.

I don't know who told you it was a "huge rigmarole and v expensive to even see paperwork" but it should not be, for any of the parties to the transaction.

If you are the person affected by the situation, go to a solicitor and ask for advice, giving them some more information than set out here and they will be able to advise you.

Ps. Told by other owners. I have contacted the solicitors who have not yet got back to me. And I'm concerned about charges anyway

Sorry, not great at using this. What details would help to know. As I said before I have been left in the dark about most of this. I have contacted the solicitor concerned, but in case she is representing the other siblings I thought I'd try and find out generally how the law stands.

Set out facts in an anonymous fashion- something like this:

And because I have no idea what this is all about , this is a work of fiction - you have to make it relevant

2013 - family situation. Mother ( a widow?) and four grown up offspring.

Mother dies? or is still alive and And leaves/gifts family home/investment property to all four as tenants in common

One/two/all family members are/are not living in the property

I was not aware of any of this. I found out when and how?

There is a dispute about what should happen to the property

I want what? I don't want any part of the property. Can I refuse it?

etc.,etc

I may be repeating myself, if so, sorry. Not great at using this. Re further info - that is the problem I have very little. I didn't even know I owned any of it. Perhaps if you tell me what more details would help? I have attempted to contact the solicitor involved on the original transaction. But haven't heard back yet. And, anyway, thought I'd look into the general legal position. Particularly if she may be representing my ssiblings and there is any conflict of interest.
 
Thank you. Right. Don't know the dates. My mother still living. The house is used in turn, without any hardand fast timetable. Still have noy seen any paperwork re ownership. But verbally informed by mother last year. i would like to walk away as it holds no advantage to me - that I can see anyway. But without knowing the legal position i don't want to do anything daft and against my sons' and my interest
 
Your mother told she had transferred a specific property into the 4 names of her offspring, including you. It seems to be a holiday home. Presumably it has a value? One quarter is yours.

Why was it done? Have you asked her? What is the problem between you all that it is not harmonious? Can you afford to refuse a gift? Can you ( and the others) afford to pay one quarter each of maintenance costs? Has anyone tried to have a sensible conversation about this? If not, why not?

@nibreen - @mf1 is simply trying to tell you that any of us experienced in law could help if we had some simple facts.

In your case what I would do is make an appointment with FLAC - this is free legal aid. As @mf1 would do if you were sitting opposite.
We are always concerned about suggesting a direction when the facts are unclear.
