Where a Penzance property is co-owned and one of the proprietors dies, the name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal your lawyer would just be asked to evidence as to the reason the co proprietor is missing from the conveyance, normally this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things more straight forward for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased party erased from the title entries by submitting an application to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
