Registered owner passed away 7 years ago but title register has not been updated - who owns it?

Hi,<br> <br> I recently purchased 2 separate title registers for land in my village. Both of the people who own the land (different people) passed away more than 7 years ago but the title register has not been updated.<br> <br> How do I find out who owns it now?<br> <br> With best wishes,<br> <br> Sarah
