Remove a deceased joint owner
Apply to remove the name of a joint owner who has died from the property title register.
Before you start
You should update the register before you sell, remortgage or transfer the property. You can also apply at any time to keep the ownership record accurate.
You do not usually need a solicitor. If the title has a restriction or your circumstances are more complex, you can get guidance on what to do next.
What you'll need
- a copy of the death certificate
- the full property address
- the title number, if you know it
- the surviving owner's name and correspondence address
What happens next
Once the form has been submitted online, you will receive an email containing a secure link to provide the required supporting document. A separate payment confirmation will also be sent to you by email.
The application takes around 5 minutes.
