If the trustees become the beneficiaries after the death of both parents. Do they need to change status from trustees to beneficiaries, is there a fee to be paid. I guess if they intend to sell it can be left as it is. I Al understand probate will not be required to transfer the house deed. Thanks

Marie - any transfer of ownership will attract a registration fee when registered. Whether it needs to be transferred in your scenario is not something we advise on and I'd suggest seeking legal advice to understand the roles of the trustees and how to satisfy the interests of any beneficiaries
Probate is required when a sole legal owner dies.
