Co ownership Problem Question! Land Law PLEASE HELP

The question provides you with a structure.

Explain how the property is owned in law and equity i.e. joint tenancy or T in C (and beneficial shares in equity) initially.

Then explain how the different events affect the title (legal and equitable) so you know who the owners are. Do this in chronological order. Also work out their beneficial shares in equity as you go along. This will then allow you to arrive at a conclusion as to their current beneficial shares. This is important when applying TOLATA, s.15 (see below).

Finally, A, as an owner can apply for a sale under TOLATA s.14. Factors in s.15 should be applied including the wishes and circumstances of the majority owners when deciding whether she is likely to be successful.

Thank you, this is the structure I followed, I put it in a table which made it much more clear!

That's how I do it too when working out the legal and beneficial owners. One column for legal title and another for equitable title. You are less likley to forget or miss out a stage that way.
