Hi
I am trying to lodge a restriction on land I have been left wholly in a will. It has not gone to probate yet, and I am not the one applying for that.  Nor will I be informed by them, so I have notifications set for when thst is.
  My first application was unsuccessful as I apparently filed under wrong restriction.   I have a solicitor friend , in fact two, who can't figure it out either . My return letter said I cannot lodge under C as I am a beneficiary,  but i am not, i am sole legatee in the will for the land.   Just some guidance would be useful. 
  I also have a life interest as a right to remain  in a property as a beneficiary in the same will.  
Are the forms for both of these items in the will the same categories,  can you guide on which restrictions LR require,   and do I have to send in more copies of will , etc and new fee?  
Land registry said they will hold application a few weeks so I can try again , and that I don't need to pay / send docs again, is this correct? 
also can I do both on one form or presumably, seperate as its 2 diff numbers .. WS22038 and the Land is WS91021 . Thankyou,

Hi Fiona - you should rely on the casework team's communication with you and seek legal advice as appropriate.
As you have an open application there's nothing we can assist with via the forum 
The response re your still pending application sets out what might be possible but it's only with legal advice that you are likely to understand the legal nuances highlighted in that letter. 
Our PG 24 - Private trusts of land (PG24) - GOV.UK and PG 19 may be of wider assistance - Notices, restrictions and protection of third-party interests (PG19) - GOV.UK but it is legal advice you require here as to what your legal rights/interest are. 
If the interest to be protected is identical then one form can be used with both title numbers included. But you really do need legal advice as to what, if anything, you can apply for
