Resolving a separation and wishing to change the ownership of several properties from joint tenants to tenants in common for inheritance planning.
If we sever the joint tenancy and retain the same proportion of ownership , would there be stamp duty due on the change?
Thanks

According to Revenue.ie

Converting a joint tenancy into a tenancy-in-common​

You may wish to convert a joint tenancy into a tenancy-in-common. The process is referred to as severing the joint tenancy.

Stamp Duty is not chargeable where each co-owner gets the share they were entitled to get. You do not file a Stamp Duty return.

If any of the co-owners receives more than the share they were entitled to as joint tenants Stamp Duty is chargeable on the “more”.
