Where a Presteigne property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to amend the title as in the event of a disposal you would simply be asked to supply proof as to the reason the joint owner is missing from the contract, such as the probate documents.
