Hello, we have a situation where property sole proprietor "A "dies in 2019, probate with Will granted with full rights to wife W.
No assent was ever done to transfer property to W and W dies in 2021 intestate and (both A & W) leaves 3 adult children (CH). Procedurally can we show 2 probates and take an Assent from executors of A straight to CH. I only ask the digital registration service will only allow one assent to applied for registration at any one time.

Hello Amit - there's only one Assent here as W didn't complete the transfer of the legal ownership to herself. 
Where the sole, or last surviving executor dies, as is the case here, their executor can become the executor of the original testator as successive probates can create what's referred to as a chain of representation
