Notice of Severance

If a Notice of Severance of the joint ownership of a property has been signed by both parties does it need to be registered at the Land Registry for it to be effective? If it has not been registered prior to a person dying, can it be registered post death?

A notice of severance is effective from the date it is signed and served on the other joint owner even if it has not been registered with the Land Registry
