changing House deeds following inheritance

manc187

Hi all
My grandfather died sadly last year and left his house to myself and two other family members.
I'm just in the process of completing the relevant Land registry forms to change ownership etc but when i look at the house deeds it appears that my grandfather didn't change the deeds when my grandmother passed away 10 years ago and therefore both my grandmother and grandfathers names are on the deeds.

Will this cause any problems?

Thanks

this will be no problem and is quite common.

Thanks.....I suspected it wouldn't be a problem but it's been playing on my mind a little

Was probate obtained when your grandmother died?

Land_Registry

If the property is registered and is in England & Wales the proprietorship entry will refer to them both as legal owners. You would need to lodge a certified copy of your late grandmother's death certificate along with the rest of your application. A certified copy of her probate (if any) would also suffice but one may have not been applied for depending on circumstances.

I suspect you have already read our online information but if any questions re completing the forms and application arise then Contact Us and we can help.
