Transfer of property to Beneficiary

HappyHammer128

Hi All

I have been dealing with my late mothers estate, Probate has beeen granted and I am now in a position to complete the final task and arrange the formal transfer of her Leasehold property to the new owner,

I have reviewed the various pages on the GOV website and have ascertained the following, the transfer will not attract Stamp Duty, however I am sure there will be an Admin fee to cover the necessary update to the Land Registry?

I will also need to complete AS/AP1 forms to request the transfer and an ID1 to verify the beneficiary identity.

My questions are as follows:

• Where can I the fee scale for the Land Registry Transfer?

• Is there an idiots guide to completion of AS/AP/ID 1 forms?

Thank you

You’ll find instructions on how to complete each form online with the forms themselves 
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/change-the-register-ap1 And https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/whole-of-registered-title-assent-as1 
The registration fee is payable under Scale 2 on the current market value of the property https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hm-land-registry-registration-services-fees#scale-2-fees

Is the beneficiary actually going to keep the property or sell it? If the later it would be better to sell within the estate and distribute the proceeds.
