Devolution on the death of a registered proprietor (PG6)
Page summary:
What to do following the death of a joint, sole or last surviving proprietor of a registered estate, charge or mortgage (practice guide 6).
Change made:
We have amended section 6 to reflect our updated practice for first registrations. Previously, in the absence of other requisition points, we completed the application with a protective entry and sent an accompanying letter. We will now request evidence to determine whether or not a register entry for inheritance tax is required.
