The deceased's will has been varied so that there are 2 beneficiaries to the property - the original beneficiary and a relative. They are both also executors. 1) Can the executors and original beneficiary include a letter with application to demonstrate that the will has been varied with the permission of the original beneficiary and knowledge of both executors? Is that satisfactory to prove the difference between the will (single beneficiary) and the filing for tenants in common? 2) What documentation does LR hold (whether on public register or not) that demonstrates the percentages of the property for each tenant in common? eg. If a declaration of trust is included to show that percentage is that held on record? 3) Is section 10 of AS1 also an area where the percentages are shown?

Nor - we don't generally require sight of the will as we are dealing with the legal ownership rather than the beneficial one(s). The key for us is the executors authority to deal with the property We don't always hold documentation that details the % shares. If you don't have that information you can contact us with the property specifics to see if we do have a record of sorts. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/contact-hm-land-registry#contact-form
