Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2006: Committee Stage
11:00 am
Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)
Senator Tuffy and the Minister are members of the legal profession and understand the point. I do not seek to delete the provision of joint tenancy but those who enter into a joint tenancy must clearly understand the difference between it and a tenancy in common and the implications for family members. We must deal with it in a way that ensures clear understanding without affecting the benefits of joint tenancy for owning property. That is the challenge for the Minister.
