My husband died earlier this year. I was appointed sole executor and have been granted probate. The mortgage has been repaid, and I have sent the death certificate to the Land Registry and asked them to register the property in my sole name. Is there anything more I need to do?
I take it that the property was held by you and your husband as joint tenants as opposed to tenants in common. If that’s the case then it could be that you have done everything thats required. Complications can arise (for example) where a business is involved, there is inheritance tax to pay, or there’s a possibility of someone else claiming for provision from the estate. The Probate Registry supplies a useful check-list. You should probably update your own will.
