My parents owned their home as Tenants in Common and I can see a Form A restriction on the Title Register.
My father died in June and as executors my sister and I are administering the estate.
The will states that my mother is the sole beneficiary, therefore she inherits my father's share of the property.
Do I assume that from a Land Registry perspective that we need to:
1. Send Form DJP to notify you of his death and have him removed as a joint proprietor?
2. Complete forms RX3 and ST5 to remove the Form A restriction?

This would leave the property 100% owned by my mother, as per the will, with no restrictions - is that correct?

Can my sister and I complete these forms as Executors of the estate?

Many thanks
Colin

Colin - I am sorry to read of your loss. Those are the correct forms and supporting evidence (certified copy death certificate) to update the legal ownership to just her name and remove the form A restriction 
Whilst you can prepare the forms I would recommend that your Mother signs and dates the RX3/ST5 as appropriate as the applicant - see our PG 6 section 8 for guidance

Adam - thank you for your swift response.

If we supply the Lasting Power of Attorney are my sister and I able to sign forms RX3 and ST5 on behalf of our mother as her attorneys?

Many thanks
Colin

Colin - yes. We will then consider the application on merit

Apologies, a couple of additional queries.

1. Do you return documents like Death Certificates and Certified copies of the Lasting Power of Attorney? Do I need to explicitly request return?

2. I can see an address to submit form DJP but to what address do I submit forms RX3 and ST5?

Many thanks

Colin

Colin - we ask people not to send originals so if you are sending such documents please ensure that they are certified copies . If you send us originals of the death certificate and LPA we should scan and return them but no point risking them in the post
Same standard address for all applications

My wife passed away last month. We had equal shares of the property as tenants in common .
In her will my wife left 2% of her share to me & the remainder shared equally to my two daughters.
My question is do I need to remove my wives name & register my daughters with land registry.

Thank you Denis.

Hello Denis O'Brien -  I am very sorry for your loss.  

You should seek legal advice on if you should add your daughters to the title.  It would not be appropriate for us to tell you how you deal with your wife's estate.  

Once you have established what approach you wish to take the guidance on what to do from land registration perspective can be found on our website on GOV.UK. 

I hope this is of some help.
