AP1 - section 4

My mother died. I have completed probate and have the will. I am both the executor and the sole beneficiary. I need to transfer her sole property into my and my wife's names. I have completed as AS1 and am now completing AP1 and ID forms. Section 4 states you need to put them in the correct sequence. Am I correct in assuming that ASSENT is the 1st one and that transfers the property? If so I lent my mother the money to buy the property originally so their is a charge on the property noting this. Do I need to put DISCHARGE on the form as well to remove that (as its irrelevant now) and if so do I put that before or after ASSENT? 2nd question: I believe ASSENT carries a charge based on the value of the property, which in this case is 190k so i believe the charge is £230, is that correct? Also if i use DISCHARGE, is there a charge for that as well? Are panels 9 & 10 essentially the same - ie: we need to put our correspondence address in both sections? Panel 14 - Do I need to list myself as a lender? Also if so do I need to fill out DS1 as well?

Stephen - panel 4 should be completed with Discharge and then Assent. The fee is payable under Scale 2 so the postal fee is £70 for a £190K property. There is no fee for a discharge Panel 9 should state your address for service. Where you both wish to be contacted in the future and as appropriate. Panel 10 is for any new charge and it does not read as if there is one. Panels 12-14 deal with identity verification and should be completed both with regards you as executor, you and your wife as transferees and if you are the sole legal charge owner, then you as the lender also as you are discharging the legal charge https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/change-the-register-ap1/guidance-completing-form-ap1

Land registration is complex, designed to protect legal and financial interests in property. There can be significant consequences for any error. Please consider seeking legal representation.

Thanks for that. Regarding form AP1 section 14. I can see that i need to put mine and my wife's details (myself and my wife are transferees). Would the transferor be my deceased mother or myself as the person dealing with the probate (or both?)

The Transferor would be yourself

If I am only performing an ASSENT, after looking at box 14 it states "if you are sending an application to register a transfer, lease or charge... (does not mention ASSENT) Do i still need to complete section 2 evidence of identity?

Stephen - an Assent is a transfer and identity verification is required for all parties involved including the executor(s)

I am looking at completing ID3 but i dont have a current passport, does that mean I cannot verify unless I get one or am I forced to use ID1 and pay a legal rep to sign it?

Stephen - you need a current valid passport for ID3 verification. If you don't have one then form ID1 verification is your only option
