Will DJP and TR1 forms be processed concurrently?

My mother, sister and I owned shares in a property. My mother has recently died leaving her share to my sister. I understand that the Land Registry are not interested in the distribution of the beneficial interest and that a DJP form is all that is required to remove my mother from the title, leaving my sister and I. Is that correct?
The second part of the question is that my sister will then buy my share of the property. I understand that my sister and I will need to transfer the title to my sister only, using a TR1 form.
I am concerned that if the TR1 form is submitted before the DJP is processed, which I understand can take many weeks, this may create a problem as my mother will not be names as a transferor on the TR1 form, but my not yet have been removed from the title. Will we need to wait until the DJP is processed before we can submit the TR1? Thanks.

    you could risk putting both in the same envelope with a short covering letter, but if it were me I would wait until DJP is processed before submitting TR1

    When you transfer the legal ownership from your joint names to just your sister you’d submit a certified copy of the death certificate with your application. You don’t need to do two separate applications, or a form DJP or update the register before the transfer either
