My father died and IPDI trusts is set up in his will for each of 2 properties that were owned with my mother as tenants in common.

The trustees are my mother, my sister and myself and the life tenant / beneficiary is my mother. \

I understand we should seek legal advice to make sure that the interests of each party are protected, but from the point of view of the land registry, do we have a legal obligation to update the title deeds, or carry out any other actions?

Thank you in advance.

Emily - I am sorry to read of your loss. There is no registration requirement to update the title deeds until such time as the property is next dealt with. The death and trust arrangements are all factual and can be proven at any point necessary in support of a future update.
The 'legal' requirements usually come into play if there is a lack of agreement between the interested/affected parties but that wouldn't involve us. IT would be the outcome of such a legal argument and next steps taken that might then trigger a need to update the title deeds
