Form A restriction and personal representatives

I am looking at the guidance in section 7 of Practice Guide 6. The sentence beginning "This is in contrast to...." suggests that the two personal representatives of a deceased sole registered proprietor (the widow of the other former proprietor who died several years ago after severing the joint tenancy) can transfer the property to purchasers without being caught by the form A restriction. Is my understanding correct? If so, would the land registry remove the restriction automatically when registering the transfer, on the basis that it has become superfluous?

Jonathan - that is correct and yes we would on a sale/purchase. Joint personal reps/executors acting together will overreach the form A restriction. A single personal rep/executor would not and they would be caught by it and unable to act alone

We would like to understand how easy or difficult it is to find information or get help from HM Land Registry. 
To help us understand what is working well and what could be improved, we are inviting you to tell us about your experiences.  
This will involve: 

• An online meeting that will take around 45 minutes 
• Tell us how you find information and get help from HM Land Registry  
• Help us understand how we can better meet your needs.  

Attendees of the session will include yourself, a researcher and 1-2 note takers. 
You can book a session by selecting the following link: Book time with Paloma Jain: How do you find information and get help from HM Land Registry? 
Sessions are available from 17 to 20 November 2025. 
This session will not be able to address any specific enquiries you have with HM Land Registry. You will need to continue using the support forum or other appropriate contact channels to get a response. 

Thanks Adam, and for the quick reply.
