will and last testament help

hi there,
i lost my mam on the 15th of oct this year and she had written a very up to date will and i would just like to ask a question about part of it.

i am a beneficiary in her will she has left me the beneficial interest on 2 properties, the one i am most concerned about is my granddads due to it being split with a money obsessed aunt.

my granddad bout his house many many moons ago and put it straight in his three daughters names, my mam and two aunts.
he done this to avoid having to sell it if he had to go in to a home or anything like that, i am sure it is tenants in common he has.

so any way the house upon his death is to be sold 3 ways and each sister getting a third each, unfortunately my mam has died now but she has left me her share of this house.

now what i would like to know is what do i do now ??

do I just wait and when ever my granddad passes the will comes into affect and that is my proof of my share?

or do i have to go to the land registry or a solicitor and get my mams name taken off and mine put on ?

i am not the executor of her will my step dad was and he has dealt with probate and we have been granted it, its due to come this week some time.

thanks for any help in advance

The executor should transfer the ownership of the share of the house from your mam to you. The house should be registered as TIC between you and two aunts. Even if it is not registered as TIC, when you become a joint owner you can sever the tenancy and cause it to be registered as TIC.

Does your grandad live in the house? If so, he will have a beneficial interest that could cause complications when he dies.

As a beneficiary, you shouldn't be doing anything with the land registry. That is the job of the executor.

so how does he go about doing that ? does he contact the land registry....

yes he lives in the house what complications could it cause ?

If the property is in England/Wales and registered in the three names, namely your 'Mam' and 2 aunts, then it might be prudent for the 2 aunts to transfer the title into their names plus You. It is all a question of how well you believe your 'interest' in the property is protected both on the land register and from a beneficial perspective.

As far as your father is concerned nothing may have changed in so far as the property remains registered in the aunts' names and he continues to live there. But it is often best to revisit such situations to ensure all interested/affected parties are aware of the circumstances and adequately protected.

You may wish to take a look at our Public Guide 9 which explains some of the options for dealing with the legal title, namely the land register.

I would strongly recommend seeking legal advice for both yourself and your Father to ensure all angles are covered. Your aunts may also welcome some legal advice and you can all agree the best way forward.
