S shipibo Registered User Messages 951 3 Sep 2012 #1 I was wondering if someone could clarify for me. Do you have to put property into probate if you are looking to get name changed on deeds to property? Only one person is in will, do land registry people need will to go into probate?

If property was held in joint names as joint tenants and one joint owner dies, the property passes to the other- no Probate needed to file a change of ownership, a death cert is sufficient for Land Registry to note the joint owner as only owner. mf
