Solicitor has requested Deeds of the house for probate purposes for a relative and the only thing we can find is a Transfer Order. Is this the same document?
It is one of the title deeds. Other title deeds would include the Property Registration Documents (eg Folio), Family Home Declarations, mortgage deeds, planning documents, deeds of rights of way etc. If the house is subject to a mortgage, the bank should/would have the deeds. A good starting point is with the owner’s solicitor who handled the house purchase/mortgage, as some solicitors would hold a client’s deeds in storage for safekeeping.
Search Transfer Orders on the Property Registration Authority website and it will explain it there. It is a deed to the property, take a copy of it and pass the original onto your solicitor.
