My late husband had a one quarter share in his late mother's property which devolves to me under his Will.  What do I need to do in respect of registering this with the Land Registry.

Margaret - that all depends on how the property is actually registered and how the legal ownership is perhaps going to be updated.
Can you share the title number please so I can see how it is registered?

Title No is HW24990

Margaret - many thanks. So if you are to be included as a registered owner then the surviving owners will need to transfer the whole legal title to themselves plus you as appropriate

I have some questions regarding the AP1

1.  Panel 4 - Priority order  (a) Register death (b) Transfer?  Does value = the full value of the property or the quarter share belonging to my late husband?

2.  Panel 5 - Documents required?  TR1, Death Certificate, copy of Will?

3.  Panel 6/7 - I am applying as sole Executrix of my husband's Will.  Does this make any difference.  I did not need to apply for Probate.

4.  Panel 14 - Presumably I need to complete form ID1?

Form TR1

My understanding is that:

5.  Panel 4 - Transferors are the 3 surviving registered proprietors plus myself as Executrix of my late husband?

6.  Panel 5 - Transferees are the 3 surviving registered proprietors plus myself as beneficiary under my husband's Will

7.  Panel 8 - As this passes under my husband's Will there is no monetary value.  Is this correct?

8.  Panel 12 - As the transferors and transferees are one and the same presumably the form only has to be signed once by each.

Margaret - the forms include links to guidance to answer how to complete the forms/panels as appropriate. But I'll do my best to provide answers here

1.  Panel 4 - Death followed by Transfer. Insert "Full market value £X" and pay the correct fee based on the transfer consideration or share of that value

2.  Panel 5 - we don't need the will 

3.  Panel 6/7 - the legal ownership is transferred by the surviving registered owner(s) so probate is not required

4.  Panel 14 - all parties need to have their identities verified

Form TR1

5.  Panel 4 - Transferors are the 3 surviving registered proprietors - you are not a Transferor

6.  Panel 5 - Transferees are the 3 surviving registered proprietors plus you

7.  Panel 8 - if there are no monies changing hands then there is no monetary consideration

8.  Panel 12 - each party executes the Transfer once

Having trolled through various practice guides, forms etc.  why cannot I use an Assent to transfer my late husband's share of the property.  The property is held as tenants in common.
