In Horne v Horne Estate[*], the Ontario Court of Appeal held that a conveyance by one joint tenant to himself or herself for the purpose of severing the joint tenancy does not “dispose of” an “interest” in a matrimonial home within the meaning of section * of the Family Law Act (“FLA”). The court found that, although the right of survivorship is thereby eliminated, each spouse nonetheless continues to hold his or her proprietary right to an undivided one-half interest in the property. Thus spouses who wish to leave their share of a matrimonial home to someone other than their spouse (i.e. a child from a previous marriage), can do so by registering a transfer to themselves severing the joint tenancy
