AS1 form when property is inherited

We have recently inherited a house from my Father in law, just completed the AS1 form, what else do we need to send and are fees payable 

Jo - you can use our online assisted guidance to identify the process and forms needed. If form AS1 is being used then forms AP1 plus ID1/ID3 as appropriate are generally also required<br> The guidance also help you find the fee to be paid<br> <a href="https://customerhelp.landregistry.gov.uk/guide-external-start/?guideid=e0861516-8882-eb11-a812-000d3ad48f95">HMLR Guide: Start - External &#160;· HM Land Registry</a>

Thank you for your reply. Are we able to complete the ID1 form ourselves or do we need to involve conveyancer and or solicitors?&#160;

Jo - ID1 is used with a conveyancer as the verifier. ID3 is used with other professionals completing the verification&#160;

<p>Thank you, how do I know if ID1&#160;or ID3 is needed, please, sorry for all the questions. When we first started this process we thought it was quite straightforward, the further into it we get the more complex it becomes.&#160;<br> Thanks</p>

Jo - it's an either/or option as each party, executor and beneficiary, will need to have their identity verified. You can either use form ID1/conveyancer or ID3/others as listed to do the verification<br> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evidence-of-identity-conveyancers/practice-guide-67-evidence-of-identity-conveyancers">Practice guide 67: evidence of identity - GOV.UK</a><br> <br> Land registration is complex, designed to protect legal and financial interests in property. There can be significant consequences for any error. Please consider seeking&#160;legal representation. Before making an application without legal representation, it is important to&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/making-an-application-without-legal-representation">consider the benefits of using a conveyancer.</a>

Thanks for all of that information and advice. Can I just ask, if we aren’t selling the house, do we actually need to transfer the registration? Or are we doing something that isn’t really necessary.&#160;

Jo - that's entirely your choice. The death is sadly factual so the register can be updated at any time but all the time it is 'left' as is the property remains part of his estate.&#160;<br> Properties can always be inherited and remain 'in the family' but if&#160;the legal ownership is to be updated then the executor can assent it to the beneficiary or sell it to the buyer once probate is obtained
