    Transferring from 2 spouses to one of you?

    You will need a conveyancer or solicitor to do the conveyancing for you – unless you are capable of doing it yourself.

    You will also need to reapply for your loan and negotiate exit fees. There will be govt charges such as discharge of mortgage etc.

    If it is an investment property, or has been, or has been income producing etc then you will need to consider Capital gains tax.

    You will also need to consider stamp duty. But you may be exempt

    Also will need to update insurances etc.

    If you are at risk of bankruptcy you will need to consider the clawback provisions of the bankruptcy etc.

     Also consider asset protection issues if the title holder is sued.

    And don't forget the estate planning aspects such as changing wills.
