If a Colindale property is co-owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a sale your conveyancer would just be required to supply proof why the co owner is not included in the conveyance, ordinarily this is in the form of a grant of probate.
