Where a Castleton property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal you would just need to supply proof as to the reason the co owner is not included in the contract, ordinarily this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things simpler in the future you can arrange to have the deceased name erased from the title by applying to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
