My father passed away 22 months ago.

He left his 50% share of the house to my sister and i in a trust in the will.

My mother owns the other 50% and has a lifetime right to live in he property.

Standard for this sort of thing.

How do i go about registering the trust?
Any advice?

Thanks.

My will is that type

“ What paperwork is needed?
Usually:
Obtain probate for the deceased’s estate.
Transfer the deceased’s share to the executors or trustees.
Update the Land Registry to show the new ownership or trust arrangement.
If a trust is created by the will, the trustees (often the surviving spouse and/or children) are usually entered on the title”

“ So the trust already exists from the date of death; what often remains is registering the trustees and restriction correctly at the Land Registry”

Thanks.

It's the registering the trust that i was a bit concerned about.
It seems i have to use the TRS.
Register as an express will trust.
