The Process of Transfer to an Executor

We’ll assist in preparing all necessary documents, including the application and relevant forms, ensuring they meet the registration requirements for the transfer.
Submit to the Land Registry
Once the documents are ready, we’ll file them with the Land Registry to update the title deed and reflect the executor as the property owner.
Transfer of Ownership
After the Land Registry processes the change, the property will be officially registered in the executor’s name as executor of the deceased, enabling them to manage or distribute the estate.
Completion & Confirmation
Upon completion, we’ll confirm that the property is registered under the executor’s name and provide guidance you may require on any further steps for distribution to beneficiaries.
