Should one as executor remove a departed person's name from the title register for a property in Penzance?
If a Penzance property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a sale you would simply be asked to supply proof why the other owner is not a party to the transfer, such as a grant of probate.
With a view to making things smoother for the sale of the property you may arrange to have the deceased party erased from the title by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
