Where a Dymock property is co-owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a disposal your conveyancer would simply need to supply proof why the co owner is not included in the conveyance, typically this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making things simpler for the sale of the property you can arrange to have the deceased person removed from the title entries by applying to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
