Hi

I would suggest that you avoid alerting the creditors to the fact that your aunt has died without taking legal advice.

Mine would be to keep quiet if possible and then when the property is sold, follow Blueback's advice.

That was my thinking unless it is clear that any action sooner could clear the debt or eliminate any risk of them still claiming.

Thanks for the replies but the property isnt being sold my Uncle wants to continue living in the property and after reading the thread about charging orders being a myth. It appears that not all solicitors are upto speed on the restrictions and what they actually do mean. I spoke with quite a few and convayancing solicitors yesterday until I found one that was able to distiguish the difference as pointed out in Myths thread.

In notifying creditors to a change of title as in a death still means the restriction was complied with and upon receipt back of death cert and letter to state that means we have proof that they have been notified of change to title and restriction has been fullfilled completely and then just to change name on deeds to reflect sole owner not joint any longer at land registry.

If it wasnt for these boards my uncle would have been in a complete mess and possibly resorted to selling the house to clear the deeds, when in fact thats not needed at all.
