My siblings and I have inherited a property that is not registered. I am the Executor of the will. I am currently awaiting the grant of probate. Do I need to wait for this to be granted or can I apply before probate has been granted? Also when applying, am I the sole "Applicant" or should my siblings be included as applicants as reflected in their share of the property under the terms of the will?

We then register the outcome of such considerations and the decision made<br> <a href="https://customerhelp.landregistry.gov.uk/guide-external-start/?guideid=e0861516-8882-eb11-a812-000d3ad48f95">HMLR Guide: Start - External &nbsp;· HM Land Registry</a>&nbsp;<br> <br> Land registration is complex, designed to protect legal and financial interests in property.
