Inheritance of Unregistered Property / Land
Discussion
A question for those with knowledge of the situation - advice appreciated please.
My father passed away recently and at some point in the future I will need to decide what to do with the family home, the likelihood is that I will sell it. I'm Executor and sole beneficiary, no other living relatives. The property is not registered with the Land Registry (as far as I am aware / can tell) and I have the original deeds.
I have had a look at Gov.UK and it seems there is a process that I can follow to register the land (in my name), along with the usual fees for doing so. My question is that if I am going to sell in the not so distant future, is there any value in doing this or would it simply be handled by the solicitor when I come to sell?
