How does one as executor remove a deceased person's details from the title deeds for a property in Bolton?
If a Bolton property is co-owned and one of the owners passes away, the name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to amend the title as in the event of a disposal your lawyer would simply be required to evidence why the joint owner is not a party to the conveyance, usually this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing smoother for the sale of the property you can apply to have the deceased person erased from the title by applying to HM Land Registry with evidence of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
