No, conveyancer will want a copy of the death certificate but can do the transfer to new owners when it’s sold.0

All the assets of the deceased belong to the estate. The beneficiaries of a will can ask the executor not to sell assets and take them in lieu of a cash distribution.0

no. The buyers Solicitors will register the house to the new buyers post completion. Most law firms won't even need to see the deeds, they'll just need proof that you are able to sell the property0
