Property and inheritance

[dreaddan]

I wanted to check something about property and inheritance as I think someone has been given duff advice. I assume SPL is better than Homes etc…
So a unmarried couple bought a house and put it in joint names (I assume 50/50 split), and separated after having some children with the mother living in the house.
If either parent dies who does their share of the property go to?

Thanks

Hmm I dont know I'll see if I can find out.
But if it is joint tenancy then wont the property go to the other owner regardless of a will or not?

Hmm I'm even more confused now..
Accoring to the land registry
[i]Beneficial joint tenancy -> If you die, your interest in the property passes automatically to the other owner or owners.
Tenancy in common -> You can give away, sell or mortgage your share. If you die, your share of the property passes to the beneficiary in your will.[/i]

No idea if there was a agreement, probably not by the sounds of it.

Thanks for all the help guys, I wanted to check if the advise was sound on not.
