Good Morning Everyone, hope all good?

I wonder if anyone can help. My Mother sadly passed away recently, and my Father, Brother & I are slowly getting things such as joint Bank Accounts, personal belongings etc sorted but there is one thing we're a bit lost on.

My Parents Wills are very simple, everything goes to the one still alive, last Parent to pass leaves it all to my Brother and I.

They own a property here in the UK, no Mortgage. They also own a property in Majorca, no Mortgage. Both their names are on the titles to both properties. Is there any real point to having my Mother's name removed from either property? I'm sure if needed this can be done quite simply for the property in the UK, but at the moment my Father is not in the best of places and really doesn't want to go travel to Majorca to sort out things that don't really need sorting, if that makes sense?

Does anyone have experience of who, how, why this should be handled as far as property overseas is concerned?

Any advice will be gratefully received.

Thank you for your time.

Simon.

Morning. Thanks to everyone for their replies, I'll have a word with my Father and no doubt he'll start the search for a Solicitor over there.

Cheers, Simon.
