Tenant in common, owner died and name has been removed from registrar, should I be worried?

Hello all

Situation: property owned in England by my father and my uncle (tenant in common) sadly my father passed away and we did a lot of paper work with registering death and getting a probate granting me executor title.

Recently I requested a copy of the land registry, and it only had my uncle's name being the only proprietor, prior copy showed two names. However, the restriction was still in place to say "no disposition by a sole proprietor of the land (not being a trust corporation) under which capital money arises is to be registered except under an order of the registrar or of the court"

Am I right to think that we still hold a share of the property in question even though the name of my father or myself is not there anymore? Or do I need to do something to have my name as the executor put on the registrar for future purposes?

Any advice is appreciated, I'm worried because my uncle hasn't gotten along with our family and barely talks to us (didn't even come to his brothers funeral)
