Question Regarding Tenants in Common Shares

  • You can’t say that for certain as it depends on the sequence of deaths. If the widower’s wife died after her mother then anything left to her forms part of her estate and would need to be distributed as per her will not her mother’s.


    Oops, my bad. Thanks for correcting.

    Is there any benefit for me to firstly notify Land Registry (form DJP) that my Step Mum passed - you indicate that they will change the legal title into my fathers sole name.

    Can they do this if it is still subject to a charge in favour of Santander - they have advised they won't remove charge until Probate is received (there is no debt outstanding)

    Yes as the death is a fact. Same goes for your late Father as well. The property now forms part of the deceased's estate but you still need to consider their beneficial ownerships/TIC

    I assume by 'they' you mean Santander. And as both borrowers have passed away you'll need probate before they will presumably deal with you
