AP1

When completing an AP1 box 4. If it’s for assent is that all that needs to be added ? 

Julie - if that's all that's been applied for then, Yes

Thank you. &#160;Is assent all that’s needed when all deeds needs changed to beneficiary.&#160;<br> the online guidance is brilliant.&#160;

Julie - yes if that's all that's happening<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>

<p>When I send the completed AP1 and AS1 with the DP1 for assent do I need to include the original deeds with application. &#160;I have the death certificate and probate form to include&#160;</p>

Julie - I assume the property is registered and if so then we don't need the deeds. The registered information is held by us electronically and that is what needs to be updated<br> We need ID1/ID3 re identity verification so not a DP1 as that's not a HMLR form<br> And I assume there was a sole legal owner and if so we only need an official/certified copy of their probate&#160;<br> &#160; <p>Land registration is complex, designed to protect legal and financial interests in property. There can be significant consequences for any error. Please consider seeking 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></p> <p>On the death of the sole owner of a property, the property can be left to others, known as beneficiaries.
