Removing deceased husband from title deed

Posting on behalf of my mother. My husband passed away 2 years ago and I'm aware his name is still on the title deeds. I'm currently getting my affairs in order and would like some guidance as to the procedure to follow to remove his name and is there a cost involved. I am unable to locate the title deeds number.

Kelvin - see form DJP. There is no fee. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/deceased-joint-proprietor-djp

Search online to confirm the register and title number if the property is registered https://www.gov.uk/search-property-information-land-registry

Hello, I have a similar question. My parents-in-law held a property as tenants in common. He has died and left his share of the house to his wife in his Will. We now have probate and want to sell the house. Can we use form DJP to transfer the whole of the title to the surviving spouse so that she can sell the property?

Hello Martin - I am sorry for your loss. You may not need to update the register re the death before selling and I would recommend speaking to the conveyancer to confirm. However if you wish to update the register before selling then our PG 6 explains how to do that including how to cancel the form A restriction (presumably on the register as they were tenants in common) https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/devolution-on-the-death-of-a-registered-proprietor
