As personal representative or executor of a deceased owner of registered land or property, can I transfer to a third party?

Yes, you can transfer the land or property to a third party without you or any other personal represtative being registered first by,

sending us the following documents.

A completed application form AP1.
A completed form TR1 (or TP1if you are only selling part of a title).
The original or official copy of the grant of probate/letters of administration (we will return this to you).
The appropriate stamp duty land tax certificate or self-certificate.
The appropriate fee.
A completed ID1 and/or ID2, where a conveyancer is not acting for you.

Note: If you intend to sell the land or property then the purchaser or their conveyancer will complete the application for registration.
