Life property Trust

My husband passed away not long ago and I am the executor of his estate. Probate as been granted. He left his 50% of the house to our 2 sons who are beneficiaries and trustees. It also states I can remain in the property for the remainder of my life. Can anyone help to explain what actions I have to do. The estate is not liable for IHT. Do I have to contact the land registry and also do I have to declare the trust to the HMRC.
Hope someone can help.

No it is not necessary to alter the LR entry but the trustees are responsible for registering the trust with HMRC. This has to be done within 2 years of your husbands death.1
