Will the land registry transfer ownership of a leasehold property without Probate being granted?
The new owner is Next of kin, executor and sole beneficiary under a properly executed will.

The short answer is "No" - you need probate, or if there is no will, letters of administration.RICHARD WEBSTER
As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.0 -
Thanks Richard, it was a forlorn hope I guess.I am not a cat (But my friend is)0

If the beneficiary is not wanting to live there, but to sell, there is little point wasting Land Registry fees in registering it in the new owner's name - just sell as executor/administrator - produce the probate/letters of administration - and the buyer then has to pay to register in his name.RICHARD WEBSTER
