ContractStore has published some new contracts:
Our Retirement Pack contains a step-by step Guide for employers dealing with employees who are coming up for retirement, including six model letters.
We also have two new property contracts dealing with co-ownership -suitable for the increasingly common situation where partners or friends share property.
Where two or more people are registered as joint owners, our Property Co-Ownership Agreement (P133) sets out the percentage shares in ownwership as well as running costs and a procedure to deal with the sale if one of them wants to leave.
Our Joint Ownership Declaration (p132) is similar, but this is designed for use where only one person is the owner but he or she agrees to treat the property as if it were jointly owned with others.
