Janet - an application for a notice under the provisions of the Family Law Act 1996 must be made in
Form HR1. You must be married or in a civil partnership and your spouse/civil partner must be the sole registered owner of the property in order that an application can be made by you or on your behalf. There is no fee payable.
Please send your completed application form to:
HM Land Registry address for applications.
Please note that, on completion of this type of application, HM Land Registry will send an information notice to the registered owner to inform them about the entry made on the register.
For further guidance please refer to Practice Guide 20: applications under the Family Law Act 1996 or refer to our pages on GOV.UK.

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. Before making an application without legal representation, it is important to consider the benefits of using a conveyancer.
