Property Law
Ask an Property Solicitor. Get an Answer ASAP.
Hello and thank you for your question. My name is ***** ***** I will be very pleased to assist you. I'm a practising lawyer in England with over 15 years’ experience. Please be aware that although I will endeavour to reply to you promptly, I am also in full time private practice and so I may not be available to respond immediately and it may also take me a few minutes to prepare a reply. The site will notify you as soon as I respond. I look forward to working with you to answer your question fully.
how may I assist in relation to the above please? Which panels in particular on the form do you have queries in relation to?
thank you. If the transfer is a transfer by the executor to a beneficiary as I imagine would be the case, then typically, an executor would give limited title guarantee in this respect in panel nine.
In panel 10, this would only be relevant if more than one person is to be a legal owner of the property. If there is only to be one legal owner then this can be disregarded.
If your mother is an executor with you, then she will also need to provide ID to the land registry. If she holds a valid passport, then she may find form ID3 simpler to complete
If the property is a shared ownership property, then you may require consent from the housing association to complete the transfer depending upon the terms of the lease
you would need to add an attestation clause for each of you and your mother which in each case should be worded:
Signed as a deed
by the said [NAME] as executor for the late [NAME]
____________________________________
in the presence of :
____________________________ (witness signature)
_______________________________ (witness name)
_______________________________ (witness address)
each of your signatures will need to be witnessed by an adult independent witness over the age of 18 who is not a relative or related to the transaction
I hope the above is of some assistance but if you have any further questions, please revert to me.
there is no need to include anything in this panel unless any conditions are being attached to the assent
ID1 requires in-person certification by a lawyer principally although there are some other narrow categories of persons that can certify. ID3 was introduced during the pandemic and allows a much wider category of people to certify ID providing that both the certifier and certified both have a valid UK passport. You can look at each form aand the differences are readily apparent
I trust the above was of assistance and that you do not have any follow up questions for now. If there is anything else I can help with please reply back to me though.
