My step-mother completed her conveyancing in Hatfield eight years past. She has been married, widowed and has recently married again. She now intends to dispose of the Hatfield property. I suspect that she will just be requested to supply copies of the marriage certificates to the conveyancer but she is concerned it could delay the sale of the house. Should she instruct a lawyer to update the Land Registry documents for the property?
The is no need to update the register as long as you have the proof required to show how the change of name occurred.
The purchaser’s property lawyer should review the registered entries and require evidence by way of proof of the change of name for example marriage certificates.
