  • You definitely want to be Joint tenants, not tenants in common. That way if you die your partner automatically gets the house, and it doesn't form part of your estate, and can't be taxed.
    And until you're married, make wills. Less important afterwards but if Bobbinbird had made a will probate would have been a whole lot easier and faster.
