    I have a probate and LR question that you may have some insight on and whether I need two grants of probate.

    Background; my mum and dad had mirror wills and severed their joint tenancy to allow for the right to occupy the property to whoever survived the other. The property would be held in trust and passed on to myself and siblings on the death of the surviving spouse. My mum died in 2018 and my dad recently. As tenants in common I was advised via the online probate application webchat that I would need a grant of probate not only for my dad but also by mum's half of the property. Does this sound correct to you?

    The property, which they purchased in 1979, is not currently registered with the LR and therefore neither was the Tenant in Common declaration, I just have a signed declaration.

    Hi, thanks for all your help earlier. I was asking about the seller who was unaware they didn’t own part of the garden. The solicitor had either forgotten to register additional land when they purchased the house or there was an issue with land registry transfer form. Please could you let me know roughly how long it should take for land registry to confirm whether or not an application to transfer names on the additional land was ever requested. Vendors solicitors have requested this approx 3 weeks ago (so they say)? Thank you 
    There are no strict/general timescales but 3 weeks seems too long. Far better to deal with specifics such as enquiry reference or title number 

    Thanks, unfortunately no enquiry or title number has been given to us by the vendor. Perhaps our solicitor has this information I don’t know. 
    Postal address? DM if need be

    I’m buying a flat and its taking more than 4 months ready from the offer date. 
    The seller solicitor are being slow and awful from start to finish.
    My solicitor believe The filed plan is incorrect regarding the access way to the property. It seems like a simple change. The seller solicitor arrange for the land registry 
    to amend the plan accordingly as the property should include the land coloured green on the lease plan.
    We have also asked land registry to expedite. 

    How long dose land registry take for such request I have been waiting around 7 working days now. Im not sure if this will take months or week to make such change. I’m currently on temporary accommodation waiting for this amendment to take place.
     Please let me know from experience with land registry , how long this cant take .

    thank you 
    Expedition reduces the wait time before it’s processed. Usually to less than 2 weeks 
    In this case we’ve written to the conveyancer asking them for more to enable us to move matters on. That was on 30th April and we await their reply. 
    Thank you for getting back to me The seller solicitor are very slow with communication.
    please let me know wether you need two weeks from the day you get the answers needed. or should be less considering the case has already started ?

    it will mean a lot to me if we can get this done asap.

    Many thanks  
     
    2 weeks only applies to the request to expedite part. Thereafter next steps are asap

    No. The legal ownership didn’t form part of your Mum’s estate so probate isn’t needed for her. The legal ownership passed to Dad so you now need probate for him. Any application to register the property now would need official/certified copies of his probate and your Mum’s death certificate 
    The TIC/Severance is linked to their beneficial ownerships and not the legal ones.
