I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Silvertown who acted for me is not around. What should I do?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder.

Should one as executor remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a property in Silvertown?

Where a Silvertown property is co-owned and one of the proprietors dies, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a disposal your lawyer would simply need to evidence as to the reason the other proprietor is missing from the conveyance, ordinarily this takes the form of the probate documents.

With the aim of making the sale conveyancing smoother in the future you may arrange to have the deceased name erased from the title by applying to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
