Remove a deceased joint owner

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, we will explain 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
