This might mean the other joint tenants have to sell the property even though that is not what they want.\u00a0<\/li><li>If one of the co owners dies, then there is potential for dispute between the

Depending on the size of the estate, there is a risk you might need to sell the property to pay the tax bill. You should get legal advice if you are concerned about estate planning.\u00a0<\/p><h2><b>How does a tenancy in common affect care fees?<\/b><\/h2><p>If you own property with someone which is not your home, where you are married or civil partners, the care home assessment can only cover your share in the property, not the entirety of the property.
