Capital Gains Question

[guidline58]

To minimise our CCT my brother and i would like to add our wives to the deeds of a house we own 50/50.(No mortgage) Is this something we can organize ? or would a conveyancing/Solicitor have to be involved ?.....Any feed back would be appreciated.........................Thanks

You theoretically don't need to involve a professional but it would almost certainly be wisest to do so. The relevant form is among this lot. (It looks like it might well be TP1 but I'm not guaranteeing it!):
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/land-registry-forms
If you take a look you'll see that you need to execute the transfer as a deed (Section 13) and that there's just a blank space provided to do so. (i.e. no guidance upon how to do it!). I reckon that I'm quite good at legal stuff but I certainly wouldn't attempt to get that form right without a bit of help from an expert!

Many thanks for taking time to reply Buenchico. My next question is...anyone know of a good conveyancer ?
