Transfer of title deeds after probate

[JaneNic]

Deceased mother left house to grandchildren, executors of her will are her two sons, one son wants to buy house, has mortgage etc in place but cannot go forward until title deeds are in their names as executors. Can the deeds not just be changed once into name of son who would like to purchase house and his wife rather than changing them twice? Also can the title deeds be changed by anyone other than solicitor at a cost of nearly £600?

[joggerjayne]

Yes. The Executors can execute a Land Registry form called an "Assent", which tells the Land Registry the name into which the property is to be transferred.

The Executors do this ar representatives of the Estate, not on their own behalf, so the property does not have to be in their name.

The Land Registry Assent form used to be Form number LRAS1 ... and it might still be.

"as" representatives

Excuse me for interrupting Jane - just wanted to say good morning to JJ. Hey JJ - why have you deserted us in CB? What have I missed? Have you been having some grief girl? x

[joggerjayne]

Should also add ...

On the sale contract, the parties will be ...

Seller: "Son A and Son B as Personal Representatives of Mother, Deceased"

Buyer: Son A

Needless to say, the money paid for the house becomes the property of the grandchildren, on whose behalf the Executors continue to hold it on Trust.

Oh, hey, Salla.

Miss you too, hun.

I just decided CB was getting a bit "same old, same old". Then the old SABers got on some hobbyhorse about me being that guy called Wardy, or someone. I started getting a bit tedious. I just thought "Crikey, guys, give it a miss."

So, if I feel the need for a chat, I phone a friend.

I'm still enjoying Q&P (ironic, as I used to take the mickey out of Q&P), and Sport.

I still look in on your naughty threads ... they gave me such a big smile.

Miss you ... x x x

Did I type "I" started getting tedious?

LOL

Well, plenty of people thought I was !!

But I meant to say that "it" started getting tedious.

It is through Q&P that I first became aware of this site. I know what you mean about the p1ss-takers and winder-uppers - tedious & annoying.

anyway - I shall look out for you.

p.s. What's the answer to 8 down? ;-)

[society]

JJ, who cares what anyone think, you know the truth, and we all know better than that. Why do you think they are banned from AB? I rest my case...
Why are you letting those illiterates control how or where you spend your time on AB? Everyone misses you. xx

(excuse me Janenic)

[joggerjayne]

I love you guys ... x x x

Sals ...

I've been for my coffee, and picked up The Guardian.

The answer to 8 down?

8d. Art of preaching house goes a long way before marks of approval are mentioned (10)

The answer is "HOMILETICS"

HO + MILE + TICS = HOMILETICS (the application of principles of rhetoric to the discipline of preaching in public)
