Where a Chertsey property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as in the event of a sale you would simply be required to supply proof as to the reason the other proprietor is missing from the conveyance, normally this takes the form of the probate documents.
With a view to making things simpler in the future you can apply to have the deceased name removed from the title by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
