Death Of Tenant in Common

Myself and my father owned a property jointly as tenants in common with a restriction entered onto the property title. Unfortunately my father has now passed away. Is it possible to remove his name from the title and also the TIC restriction without going for probate? Thank you

    If he left his share to you, yes, if he didn’t or he died intestate with a surviving spouse or other surviving children, then no.

    What does the Will say regarding his share?

    You can call the Land Registry helpline to check what form you need to send them, and also what other information you need to provide, e.g. copy of the Will, death certificate, proof of identity. 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Our PG 6 explains how to update the register re the death and how to cancel a form A restriction, which is what many refer to as the indicator re the TIC you refer to. 
    Probate is not needed. Nor is the will or evidence of identity

    Dear Land Registry,
    On section 9 of the RX3 form it asks for the reason why the restriction is no longer needed. I was going to say "The restriction is no longer needed given the death of proprietor MY FATHER on 20/11/2022  and the inheritance of his benecial share and entire estate by his only child MYSELF". Would that suffice?
    Thank you so much for your help

    You need RX3 and ST5 so that’s fine for panel 9 but for the ST5 follow the bullet points provided in the guidance and set out the details as referenced

    His share comes to me. 
    Did he have any debts that can’t be settled with cash savings?
