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.

From memory, the ID1 isn't too difficult to complete. There are additional costs associated with getting documents certified, but.... [see below]

I am his executor and I already have probate etc.

According to the voice at the other end of the phone when I contacted the LR, the grant of probate is all you will need as ID as you are the executor, the assentor, and the assentee. Identity checks have been done by HMCTS when granting probate, so no need for the ID1.

I will find out for myself on Monday when I deliver a bundle of papers to the local LR office (including the AS1 form).

If you have any queries about filling in forms, the LR telephone help line is pretty good. They also respond fairly quickly to email questions too.

NO life interest for you mother?

OK so FYI, in case anyone has similar issues, it is ID1, TR1 and AP1 to complete in these circumstances. My mum basically has to do a transfer to her and myself.

That's not accurate.


Either it was owned jointly (joint tenants) in which case your mother now owns 100% and is gifting you 50%


OR they owned as tenants in common (which is what you said) the estate of your father does a transfer to you. Your mother cannot transfer what she does not own. - though she would be part of the paper work.

Hi. She does own. Her and Dad were tenants in common. It is accurate, as confirmed by Land Registry itself.

I don't understand then, what is your mum transferring to you.

My dad died, his half of his house is currently being registered in my name, but mum isn't transferring anything to me?

Am I missing something?

No. Normally the process would be child-as-dad's-executor would be transferring to child-as-beneficiary.

You might have Mum+Child-as-Dad's-Executor trasnferring to Mum+Child-as-beneficiary but that seems unduly complex.

The only reason I can think of why mum would need to transfer would be if the house had been held in mum's sole name as trustee or herself and dad, or of mum were the executor in which case she would be transferring dad's share in her capacity as executor.

Op, if you have been told that your mum needs to transfer then etiehr you have misunderstood the advise, or the person who gave it misundertstood your question.
