Hi
My client is unable to sign a unilateral notice of severance to sever a joint tenancy due to an injury to his arm. Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Michelle
Can he sign it electronically, if you have the software?

Assuming the other joint tenant can’t give notice instead, can somebody sign it “at his direction” or could he or she make a mark with their other hand? I thought the only requirement was that notice was given to the other party so it may not even have to be signed.

Agree with Andrew no signature required.

Hi Sara
We are not set up for that but great suggestion because he would be able to.
Thank you Andrew and Richard. Much appreciated.

There is no legislative requirement on serving notice of severance [LPA1925 s. 36(2)] that the notice must be signed [Re Draper’s Conveyance [1969]].

Thank you Malcom, that is most helpful.
