Mom's House, Dad's House for Kids: Feeling at Home in One Home or Two

We register the legal ownership so if the property is registered in your late Sister's sole name, your Father is the Adminstratoir of her estate, and you are now the beneficiary then he can transfer it to your by way of an Assent (form AS1). The application would be made using form AP1 and an official copy of the letters of administration would also be required. You, as the beneficiary would also need to have your identity verified. He would not as he is named as the administrator. While Fred and Hilda are both alive they decide to give their house to their children, but they do it in such a way that the house is held in trust for the children. This means the children have no right to the home until both parents have died. It also avoids any issues with Capital Gains Tax and ensures that Fred and Wilma could sell the house and move to a different one if they chose. Even if one of the children got divorced or died, the assets are protected because they don’t belong to the children.

Carl - it reads as if it is a confusing situation and there is a limit as to what we can really assist you with as it reads very much as if you both need legal advice/assistance.

The savings she has will run out in over a years time, at which point her property would have been sold to pay for her continued care.To now transfer the ownership is not a two step process as we cannot register your late Mother as sadly she is also now deceased. As a first step you will also need probate for your late Mother. Once you have that you will have what is known as a chain of representation, namely your Mother as executor for grandmother followed by the executor for your Mother. The probates then confirm both deaths and the chain of executors (also known as personal representatives hence a chain of representation. As others have noted our vendors had to apply for probate but as it was a straight-forward case (which yours sounds like it should be too) they were able to run the probate process alongside the sale process.
