Transfer of deed to family member

Hi there.<br> I am the administrator for my late mothers affairs and wish to transfer ownership of her property to my nephew as agreed with my mother and other family members.<br> There is no will so I am thinking that I need to complete forms AS1 and AP1.<br> I would be most grateful if you can confirm that this is the case, whether this can be done on line and what the fees will be.<br> <br> Kind Regards.<br> <br> David Roger Pearson

Hi David - form AP1 (application form) and AS1 (legal deed) can be used by an executor to apply to register the transfer from executor to a beneficiary<br> It's a postal application and the fee is payable under Scale 2 on the current market value of the property&#160;<br> You will also need to provide a certified copy of the probate and have your/the beneficiary's identities verified<br> Use our online assisted guidance to identify the right guidance and forms needed for your specific scenario as appropriate -&#160;<a href="https://customerhelp.landregistry.gov.uk/guide-external-start/?guideid=e0861516-8882-eb11-a812-000d3ad48f95">HMLR Guide: Start - External &#160;· HM Land Registry</a>

Many thanks for this. What would count in order to satisfy the need to verify mine and the beneficiaries IDs.&#160;<br> Could this be copies of passports, driving licences etc.&#160;<br> Regards. Dave.&#160;
