I have inherited a property value at 220K with a sibling (half each)
We have agreed that I buy him out for 110K
the property is still in the names of the person who died.
Am I right in thinking I have to transfer the property over to us jointly first (if so what form and what fee)
and when I have paid what form do I need to transfer the full title to me
thank you

Shaun - you don't need to do two transfers. See our online assisted guidance for the forms needed, fee to be paid and more

Thanks Adam
 

Hi Adam,

I have accessed the guidance, thank you.

As I understand it then given my circumstances, the steps are

TR 1 (No AS 1 needed)

AP 1 

ID 1 times 2

would you be kind enough to confirm please

thanks

Hi Shaun - confirmed. And you need a certified copy of the probate 

Thanks Adam, grateful.

Hi, I'm also in this situation and I have come across a requirement for a conveyancer's certificate.  What suitable alternatives are acceptable please?

 

Hi Karen - in what scenario are you requiring a conveyancer's certificate? There's no obvious link to the origins of this thread that I can see - sorry

Transfer property to the beneficiary after the sole owner has died

Personal representative, or beneficiary [if different], is purchasing the property or buying out a share of another beneficiary for value
If a personal representative or beneficiary is purchasing the property, or a share of another beneficiary for value (rather than assenting to themselves as beneficiary or transferring to themselves to hold as trustee(s)), you will need to show that the transaction is for market value and is authorised either under the terms of the will, or under an order of the court, or with the consent of all beneficiaries of full age and capacity who are absolutely entitled. A conveyancer’s certificate is the normal evidence for this. If a conveyancer’s certificate cannot be obtained, any alternative evidence supplied will be assessed on its own merits.

Karen - many thanks for setting the context. This alternative would for example be a certificate by the person submitting the application to the same effect.
Namely "I certify that ..........." and then using the same wording and then adding full name and signature/date as appropriate

Thank you
