Land Registry

[jazzy_dave]

I spoke with a probate officer earlier this week and, during our conversation, he suggested that I contact HM Land Registry as our property is in joint names, jointly and severally. Well, I have done this and obtained a copy of the Land Registry record which indeed shows joint ownership. This is now where it gets complicated and I am uncertain as to whether or not I need to do more such as: transfer land or property to the surviving owner or beneficiary. My best friend Graeme, who's wife Anne died on 30th November, did not so far as I am aware do any of this.

Maybe it's time to consult a solicitor or conveyancer.
