Dad has left his half of the house in his will to me

Newlyboughthouse

So what do I do to obtain the ownership? He and my mum owned jointly as tenants in common. No mortgage.

I have googled it but can't seem to find anything on the net. I would much rather avoid solicitors if I can help it.

Thank you in advance for any help.

What has your mother proposed?

Is the house registered with the Land Registry?

How do you mean?

Yes

Does your mother want to buy your half off you? Does she want to sell? Can she afford either option?

Ah I see. No. The idea is to jointly own the house together.

Any idea how/if I can tag the Land Registry Representative?

You could try sending them a PM?

I could. But I asked if there's a way to tag them. Only just thought to try asking the Land Registry Rep as saw a response from them on another thread.

*There is no option to PM the rep.

Who is your Dad's executor? They will need to deal with the assent.
The LR will need to see the grant of probate
I think the forms you will need are the AS1 and ID1 - more information here:

You may find that getting the ID1 completed is harder than completing the AS1 yourself. If you have a solicitor acting for you, you don't need one If you don't, you may find it difficult to find a solicitor willing to complete one for you without opening a proper file and charging accordingly.

I am his executor and I already have probate etc. Thanks for this. Just had a quick look at AS1 and not sure if I'm just really tired but can't see anywhere to explicitly say my name is to go on the title deeds. May have to look again tomorrow with fresh eyes.
