Ethel - "If there is not the wording under their names that is under the names of your father and mother, they own it as joint tenants".
I'm not sure what you mean by this. What judith quotes is a tenancy in common restriction with the same date as the registration of the father and the second wife as proprietors. This seems to me to mean they owned as tenants in common.
I don't know whether title documents normally show past ownerships but judith doesn't quote anything about them, so presumably nothing is shown.
It is interesting that the registration date is in 2002, when judith's mother died in 1986. I wonder what happened in the meantime. Perhaps it was just registered to the father? Also the fact that it is a tenancy in common (if I am right about that) is interesting - perhaps the father didn't necessarily intend his second wife to have everything, but it could also be an IHT thing.
