DJP

Dawn - that's fine 

Good morning Adam<br> The form went recorded delivery yesterday..... if you want anything doing , do it yourself eh? :):):)<br> <br> Thanks<br> <br> Dawn

i don't suppose either of the other 2 forms have turned up yet ?

Dawn - one from a Mr R and dated 12th August has arrived safely today<br> MAN290038

Adam<br> Great news, thanks for that<br> so its on the system now?<br> Any idea how long it takes from here on?<br> <br> Thanks

Dawn - wait times are lengthy so there will be a significant wait, perhaps around 4 months, before processing starts. Mr R will be contacted when it starts/is completed as appropriate<br> There should be no reason to worry about how long the wait is likely to be&#160;<br> MAN290038

Can we expedite this? We have builders, kitchen fitters etc lined up&#160;

Dawn - understood but what's the urgency re updating the register re the death itself?<br> You've never explained or mentioned why and a death is factual so can be proven at any time as far as the property is concerned.<br> Apologies as I know that may read as being very harsh but updating the register re a death has no direct link to a new kitchen for example<br> But if the property is being sold or remortgaged and the buyer/lender won't complete until it is updated - that's a reason to request expedition -&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/request-an-expedite">Request an expedite - GOV.UK</a><br> &#160;

Sorry Adam for not explaining.&#160;<br> So my partner is getting a small mortgage to pay for the work on the house ( he has no mortgage now)<br> The people that have been doing the financial side didn't check the deeds when he first applied for the mortgage.&#160;<br> The fact that his deceased wife's name is still on the deeds makes a difference to him getting the motgage.<br> <br> Hope this makes sense&#160;<br> Thanks&#160;<br> &#160;

Dawn - no apology needed as I guessed there must be something extra behind the thread but for privacy reasons I didn't wish to pry.....until you opened the door to it so to speak<br> I'll flag with colleagues to expedite it but do now also need to explain that even with the register updated he's not going to be able to remortgage as there is a restriction on the title that also needs to be dealt with - removed I suspect&#160;<br> Was he/you aware and have the financial people not mentioned it?<br> It's a form A (joint ownership) restriction and often referred to when people own a property as 'tenants in common' and they severed their joint tenancy in 2021 and applied for that form A restriction <p>An application to cancel a Form A/joint ownership restriction must be made in&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cancel-a-restriction-registration-rx3">Form RX3</a>&#160;together with evidence to show that the restriction is no longer required. He can use&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cancellation-of-restriction-statement-of-truth-st5">form ST5</a>&#160;to supply the necessary evidence in support of the&#160;application.&#160;There is no fee payable<br> Our PG 6 section 8 explains what's required and what he should include in the ST5 as appropriate to the circumstances -&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/devolution-on-the-death-of-a-registered-proprietor/practice-guide-6-devolution-on-the-death-of-a-registered-proprietor#removal-restriction">Practice guide 6: devolution on the death of a registered proprietor - GOV.UK</a><br> MAN290038</p>

Thanks for this Adam. The financial people /solicitors have been absolutely useless to be honest .It's all extremely confusing so he's going to speak to a solicitor friend of his to see what's going on.<br> Am I right in assuming that once the relevant forms are filled in and sent in to yourselves that this os going to take a good while to sort out?&#160;<br> <br> Thanks again for your help&#160;

Dawn - I have responded to your further post in the absence of my colleague.&#160;<br> <br> How long it may take to process once the relevant forms and evidence is submitted will depend on the documents submitted to us and what action we may need to take.&#160; It would be difficult to provide any timescale without having sight of the actual application.&#160;<br> <br> I hope this is of some help.&#160;

Good morning<br> Thanks for the swift reply.<br> I have printed the relevant forms and will arrange a visit to a solicitor asap<br> <br> Thanks again

hello again<br> my partner and his wife (now deceased) changed the tenancy from joint tenants to tenants in law and a restriction a was added, im assuming because they had 3 children together and wanted to make sure that on her death that half of the house would be theirs. in this case is it possible to have this restriction removed to be able to get a small mortgage on the house? would an arrangement need to be made via a solicitor?<br> <br> thankyou for your patience

Hello Dawn - I would suggest your partner get legal advice on the matter.&#160; It would not be appropriate for us to tell you if it is possible and appropriate to remove the restriction.&#160;

Good morning<br> after speaking to his solicitors&#160; &#160;a different form has been sent.<br> can you please tell me if it's been received yet?<br> Thankyou

Good Morning Dawn - only the form DJP and supporting docs received on 13th August so far<br> MAN290038
