Transfer land or property to the surviving owner and a beneficiary
Documents you need to send
To transfer ownership to the surviving owner and a beneficiary, you'll need to complete the following (help to complete forms can be found here):
form TR1 - Registered title(s): whole transfer
form AP1 - Change the register
Evidence of identity (please see below)
And send a certified copy of evidence of death. This can be either:
a grant of probate
death certificate
letters of administration
a court order
Trusts
Where land is held on trust, a restriction in standard Form A or an earlier equivalent may have been entered in the register. The Form A restriction reads:
“No disposition by a sole proprietor of the registered estate (except a trust corporation) under which capital money arises is to be registered except under an order of the Court.”
If the register includes a Form A restriction, see Trusts for further information and guidance.
Verifying your identity
Evidence of Identity is usually required for all parties to the transaction unless they are represented by a conveyancer.
See Practice guide 67: evidence of identity for more information and the options available to you.
