Land Registry change prior to selling deceased mother house

Hi. My mother passed away in Nov23. I am executor of her will and joint beneficiary of the estate with my sister. I am still  awaiting probate. There is a property in my mothers sole name which we intend to sell once probate is granted.
Question...

• Once probate is granted, is it advisable apply to Land Registry to change ownership of house to myself (and sister) before we sell it? Or is this step unnecessary?
• If yes, can I keep things simple and just register it in my own name even though my sister is joint beneficiary (she is happy with that as we'll be selling and splitting proceeds anyway) - but what is the correct approach? Do we both need to be on the deeds?

Thanks in anticipation
Chris

Hi Chris - most buyers will accept a copy of the registered title plus probate as sufficient to complete on a purchase. No need to update the register beforehand.
