Hello

My Father-in-law has just passed away. I am the executor of the estate and have just been granted probate. I want to sell the house which is registered in my late Father & Mother-in law names. Can you advise me which form I need to complete so I can eventually place the house on the market.
Many thanks
Steve

Hello Steven - I'm sorry to read of your loss.
If the property is registered in both their names and you have the death certificate for MIL and Probate for FIL then there's rarely a need to update the register before selling. A buyer can rely on the register plus evidence to complete.
However if you need to update the register before selling then our online assisted guidance explains how to do that and links you to the forms as appropriate
