Put an inherited home in your name
If you have inherited a property, the title needs updating to show the new owner. The route depends on how the property was owned and the estate paperwork available.
We check every application before it’s submitted, so it isn’t rejected.
Who is this for?
- Beneficiaries named in a will
- Personal representatives (executors or administrators)
- Family members inheriting under intestacy rules

Things to consider
A grant of probate or letters of administration is usually needed before the property can be transferred.
Any mortgage must be repaid or taken on by the beneficiary with lender agreement.
Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax may be relevant — seek independent tax advice.
We do not obtain probate; specialist legal help may be needed for that step.
Common questions
Can the property be transferred before probate?
Normally no. The personal representatives need the grant to deal with the property.
What is an assent?
An assent is the document personal representatives use to pass a property from the estate to the beneficiary, usually on Land Registry form AS1.
