Where a Fenstanton property is co-owned and one of the proprietors dies, their 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 lawyer would just be required to supply proof why the co proprietor is missing from the conveyance, such as the probate documents.
With the aim of making things more straight forward for the sale of the property you may arrange to have the deceased party removed from the title by applying to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
