Transfer of Ownership after a Death

Even more rubbish her as if all the residual beneficiaries agree, if is perfectly possible to vary a will any time up to 2 years after the date of death.
I suggest one quick visit to a decent probate lawyer so they understand their rights migh help OH and BIL.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -
Just an update on this for everybody.
Transfer of my Mother In Law's property into the joint ownership of her Daughter on Son is now going ahead.
Costs are as follows:£50 - To Land Registry.Just one other point, apparently, there are standard paragraphs/sentences that are mostly added to Wills that state that the Executor most carry out his duties in accordance with the standard practices and regulations (or words to that effect).
£200 + VAT - Solicitors Fees.
What these practices and regulations are I have no idea. However, even if they do not appear on the Will they still apply.
One of the practices and regulations apparently states that all beneficiaries must be consulted on the disposal of the estate, i.e selling the house.
The only time that these practices and regulations don't apply are when it clearly states so in the will.
Many thanks to everyone that replied for their help.
Regards
