Help with AP1

Hi Adam,<br> <br> Background:- &#160;My husband died a couple of years ago. &#160;We were tenants in common with 50% share each. &#160;I am now trying to update the ownership of our property. &#160;There is no mortgage involved nor money changing hands. &#160;He died intestate so I am the sole beneficiary of his estate. &#160;I have letters of administration already. &#160;<br> <br> i have completed an RX3 and ST5 and trying to complete AP1. &#160;Having looked through all the guidance and now more confused than ever. &#160;I have entered my name in panel 6 as applicant but when it comes to panel 14 I am at a loss as to how to complete it since all the advice suggests the transferor cannot be the same person as the transferee.<br> <br> could you also please tell me if I need to complete any other forms in support of my application.<br> <br> Regards, Marilyn&#160;<br> <br> &#160;

Hi Marilyn - it's forms DJP, RX3 and ST5 you appear to need here as there's no 'transfer' of the legal ownership involved<br> As you were joint legal owners the legal ownership passed to you following the death<br> The 50% share/tenants in common relate to the beneficial ownership, presumably protected by way of a form A/joint ownership restriction on the register hence the forms RX3 and ST5 you refer to&#160;<br> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/devolution-on-the-death-of-a-registered-proprietor">Devolution on the death of a registered proprietor (PG6) - GOV.UK</a>

Hi Adam,<br> <br> Thank you. I have completed a DJP as I picked it up from one of the guidances just wasn’t sure I would need it.<br> <br> Are you saying I don’t need to complete AP1 then?

Hi Marilyn - if you are updating the register re the death then that's form DJP which is a standalone application form that can be submitted along with a certified copy of the death certificate plus the forms RX3/ST5 as well.<br> Form AP1 would only be required, and not form DJP, if there was 'more' being applied for&#160;

<p>Many thanks for your help it’s appreciated more than you</p>
