Title Deeds transfer

*Dory*

Not sure if this is in the right place but can anyone tell me if, when you inherit a house do you have to change the owners name on the title deeds to sell the property?
My OH who has inherited said house is also the executor of the will.
If so how do we go about it?

NO
I have sold three properties 1989, 1990 and 2000.
In each case no mortgage was involved.
They each became owned by the estate of a deceased person . The executers delegated their role to me and I sold the properties.

Thank you for your quick reply.
I'm assuming all we need is the grant of probate and the deeds then?

If the property is being sold straight away there is little point as it only incurs an additional Land Registry Fee and if the title has been in the family for years and is unregistered then there is a higher fee and more work in doing a first registration if the proeprty is transferred to the beneficiary using a a Land Registry AS1. Buyer's solicitors can do first registration, if needed, and this is quite normal.

Thanks to you both.
