Creature of Habit

Hi Admin, I have read through the thread however there seems to be conflicting information. Please can you help clarify. My wife and I are tenants in common on a rental property (50% share each). I wish to move the beneficial ownership to 0% me - 100% my wife for tax purposes in terms of rental income and expenditure. My questions are: 1) Is a deed of assignment enough for this? 2) Is form 17 required? 2) Does this need to be drafted by a solicitor or can I do this in the presence of a witness? Or without a witness? Or do you provide a template? 3) Once the deed of assignment is in place do I need to submit it to HMRC or just keep it safe? Thank you
