Removing a deceased party from the deeds

My Mother passed away in 2020, however, my Father did not remove her from the deeds at the time and he passed away 2 weeks ago.

I notice from the form AP1 it needs to be completed by my father, however, I am beneficiary and Executor of the Will for both of their estates. I will be applying for Probate for my Father once we have the death certificate but just need my Mothers name removed.

I need clarification on how to get my Mother removed please.

Belinda - sorry to read of your loss

Thank you for your reply,

Is there anyway I can get my Mother removed first or does this need to be done at the same time..?? I have her Death Certificate.

Belinda - the guidance is to explain how to apply to remove your Mother from the register first.
