Hi Louise - if I understand correctly the property is unregistered but you don't state who the actual owner(s0 were before your husband and sister inherited.
If the property was solely owned and the executor transferred the ownership to your husband then that should have triggered first registration. If that didn't happen then an application to register for the first time should be submitted along with an explanation as to why 10 years has been allowed to pass -
Practice guide 1: first registrations - GOV.UK
If that's not the case can you explain who owns the unregistered property based on the existing deeds
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.
