Forms following bereavement of joint owner

We jointly owned our home with my mother in law, who passed away a few years ago. My wife was the beneficiary of her mum's share of our home. I'm afraid I did't do the Land Registry forms at the time so I'm a little behind. We've recently been thinking about moving and it would probably help if I completed the relevant forms with you, an AS1 form I think. Is that all I need to though? I wasn't sure whether I then need a solicitor to separately change title deeds. Am I able to specify ownership proportions on that form?<br> Thank you.

Hello Stephen - Please refer to the guidance <a href="https://customerhelp.landregistry.gov.uk/guide-external-start/?guideid=e0861516-8882-eb11-a812-000d3ad48f95">How to update property records when someone has died</a> on our website on GOV.UK.<br> <br> With regards to ownership proportions, they can be reflected in the form that is submitted to us but you need to be aware that we register legal estate, not the beneficial interest which is what proportion of ownership relates to.&#160;<br> &#160; <p>From our perspective it is not a must that services of a solicitor are employed but <span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="line-height:107%;"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;">Land registration is complex, designed to protect legal and financial interests in property.
