Do I need to inform the Land Registry of death

Hi, My father passed away a few years ago and my sister and I inherited 50% of the property in trust, my mother still retains ownership of the other 50%. We have never advised the Land Registry do I need to do anything?

Hi Michael - a death is sadly factual and can be proven at any time when dealing with a property. ASs a result there is no 'need' to inform us and update the register. Do seek legal advice as to the options available re what to do next and which is 'best'. Once you have all decided what's 'best' our online guidance can be used to identify the forms and more needed to apply as appropriate https://customerhelp.landregistry.gov.uk/guide-external-start/?guideid=e0861516-8882-eb11-a812-000d3ad48f95
