When a Partner joins or leaves a GP Practice, it is a busy time for both the new Partner and the Partnership. There will inevitably be lots of paperwork to complete, but the title deeds can often be forgotten about. Title deeds provide ownership clarity and ensure that the Partnership does not need to call upon long-since retired/resigned Partners to assist when there are legal deeds to sign. Following new legislation, it is now essential that GP Practices take some action in relation to their title deeds when a Partner joins or leaves.
