How to study for FLK2
Use closed-book rule anchors, realistic client facts, primary-classification ranges and an ethical decision check across every subject.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Distinguish the legal joint tenancy from beneficial joint tenancy or tenancy in common.
Exam cue: Separate legal title, beneficial shares and current trustees.
Concept 2
Apply survivorship to the relevant interest and death sequence.
Exam cue: Build a timeline of acquisition, declaration, contribution, severance and death.
Concept 3
Identify valid unilateral, mutual or course-of-dealing severance and its timing.
Concept 4
Apply sections 14 and 15 TOLATA to sale, occupation and co-owner disputes.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Assuming unequal contributions automatically sever a declared beneficial joint tenancy.
Guardrail: Check the sitting-specific law cutoff, keep Solicitors Accounts in its official context and reject any answer that imports an FLK1 rule as the controlling subject.
