I have a question relating to my elderly mother's property which was purchased in the 1980's when my father was still alive.
At the time I was still living in the house and I contributed willingly to the purchase of the house which had been a Housing Executive rental since it was built.
I was recently informed (by my brother) that my name was on the deeds of the house, but have not seen any documentation to this effect. How do I find out about this and can my name be removed from the deeds without my knowledge?
Grateful for any advice and information.

Thank you for the replies. I can get a copy of the deeds for £12 from Land Registry office.
Can the deeds be amended though without my agreement?0 -

A guide to Northern Irish property law and practice - as compared to England and Wales. Part 2: land registration and searches
might be worth a look.

if it is then what are you worried about?0 -
It's extremely unlikely that your name could be removed from the property without you signing something.0

In England and Wales you can sign up for the "property alert service" from HM land registry and you are then informed of certain activity on the property title. The site says it is for anyone who feels a registered property could be at risk from fraud. I wonder if there is an equivalent service that you could use?
