Hi Buddy,

I’ve just had C1 returned due to a number of issues with completion. I’ve attached photos of form & wondered if you could help me, have also included my covering letter. Many thanks

Firstly a comment about the house. 

Are you certain about house ownership and the current ownership as stated in the land register entry? It is not uncommon for house ownership to still hold the name of a predeceased spouse (without a survivorship clause).

Suggestions

Cover letter.

Use (Removed by Forum Team).

No need to reference paperwork regarding the house or mortgage, the court does not wish to see these and will accept your entry on the C1

If sending in the C1 you need to produce the id requirements stated here https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/taking-action/dealing-with-a-deceaseds-estate-in-scotland/large-estates/

Page 1

Box 2

Use ‘(Removed by Forum Team) xxxx’

Box 5. 

Enter ‘Retired wages clerkess’

Box 10

Enter ‘(Removed by Forum Team) XXX YYYY or TTTT. Where YYYY is maiden surname and TTTT is married surname.

Top box.

Enter only ‘(Removed by Forum Team) XXX YYYY or TTTT and current address.

Inventory.

Item 1. Use ‘under title number’

After the summary for confirmation insert an entry ‘Estate elsewhere - nil’

Box 15, if entering manually delete the zero

Thank you so much. I’ll redo form and submit.
Should I change ‘Moveable estate in England and Wales’ to ‘Real and Personal estate in England and Wales’?
Unsure what you mean by Item 1. Use ‘under title number’
The Land register entry is in both names, I.e. (Removed by Forum Team) & (Removed by Forum Team). Do I have to do anything about this?

Thanks again for all your help

Instead of saying ‘under the number’ say ‘under title number’

If the land register has both names, is there survivorship in the proprietorship section?  If so no problem, ownership automatically passed to (Removed by Forum Team) on (Removed by Forum Team)’s death.

If there is no survivorship in the proprietorship section, then what happened on (Removed by Forum Team)’s death? Was there a will? Who inherited (Removed by Forum Team)’s share? Was Confirmation issued?

auntiea

yes, survivorship is stated. Thanks again

auntiea

just to say thanks for all your help. Confirmation was approved today.

Many thanks again
