We notified the Land Registry of our mother's death to remove her from the freehold and leasehold documentation of the property which was owned between myself, my sister and my mother. Since we notified the Land Registry my sister has decided that she would like to give her share of the house to her nephews through a Deed of Variation to my mother's will.<br> <br> Do we need to cancel the AP1 request we've made, or can we leave this in place to avoid and chance of fraudster using my mother's name? And then can we amend the land registry with a TR1 and a new AP1 at a future date?&#160;<br> <br> Your advice on the correct process would be much appreciated.&#160;<br> <br> <br> <br> &#160;

Ian - the death is sadly factual so if you have applied to update the register using form AP1 then no reason to cancel it<br> We don't deal with variations of a will]<br> However if you have applied to update the register it's&nbsp;your choice and if you want it cancelled then you can do so using our contact form -&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/public-guidance-dealing-with-land-and-property#contact-form">Public guidance: dealing with land and property - GOV.UK</a>&nbsp;<br> If the property is to be transferred then an application in form AP1 plus TR1 etc can be submitted at any time - use our online assisted guidance to confirm how an executor can transfer the legal ownership&nbsp;<a href="https://customerhelp.landregistry.gov.uk/guide-external-start/?guideid=e0861516-8882-eb11-a812-000d3ad48f95">HMLR Guide: Start - External &nbsp;· HM Land Registry</a>&nbsp;
