Preventing Unilateral Ownership Changes
Summary
In Ontario, a co-owner cannot change joint tenancy to tenants in common without mutual consent. A mutual consent clause in a mortgage contract can prevent unilateral changes. If breached, legal action may be necessary. Upon a co-owners death, the surviving owner typically gains sole ownership. Divorce does not automatically alter the mutual consent clause unless amended or ordered by a court.Full Conversation
