Should one remove a deceased person's details from the title deeds for a property in Soho?
If a Soho property is co-owned and one of the owners passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a sale your lawyer would simply be asked to supply proof as to the reason the joint proprietor is missing from the contract, normally this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things smoother in the future you can arrange to have the deceased person erased from the title register by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
