Where a Retford property is jointly owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a disposal you would simply be required to evidence why the other owner is not included in the transfer, ordinarily this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing simpler in the future you may apply to have the deceased party erased from the title register by submitting an application to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
