Should one as executor remove a departed person's details from the title register for a property in Upper Tean?
Where a Upper Tean property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a disposal you would simply be required to evidence why the co proprietor is not included in the transfer, ordinarily this takes the form of the probate documents.
With a view to making things smoother in the future you may arrange to have the deceased name erased from the title entries by submitting an application to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
