Voluntary First Registration

Hi, having inherited the family home, we (married couple) wish to complete first registration. We have all deeds, Documents, Wills, Probates etc. The ownership  is 100% in one persons name through the inheritance but we wish to register jointly.
Question: Can we First Register jointly with FR1 and the evidence; or do we need to submit FR1 and then submit TP1 afterwards. Thanks.

Hi Ian - whilst you can register first and then transfer that would be a very unusual way to do things
Better to register for the first time based on the Transfer from the executor to whoever as a single application 
It would not be a TP1 as that is used to transfer a part of the property such as part of the garden
The legal ownership can only be transferred as a whole and if the executor is transferring the legal ownership to say a beneficiary and someone else then form TR1 can be used.
The Transfer will make it a compulsory first registration application

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. Find out about making an application without legal representation.

Thank you for the very prompt reply. Just so I am clear

So that's FR1 first into one name then TR1 second into joint names. 

Can both sets of forms be submitted at the same time or must we wait for the FR to be completed before submitting the TR1?

Thanks for the heads up on the compulsory registration, if its the transfer that makes this compulsory that implies that the first registration and transfer can be completed at the same time otherwise we just do the FR now (voluntary), and the TR1 (compulsory) at a later date.
 

I may have misunderstood, when you said 
"whilst you can register first and then transfer that would be a very unusual way to do things
Better to register for the first time based on the Transfer from the executor to whoever as a single application"
Did you mean just with FR1 and no need for a TR1 at all? 

Ian - form FR1 is the application form. A TR1 is the legal deed/the transfer itself. So you would need both
Use the linked guidance to identify the scenario that fits re a transfer of ownership and first registration following the death of a sole owner.
You'll need forms FR1 and DL to apply plus form TR1 for the transfer. A certified copy of the probate plus original deeds/documents as explained in the guidance
