Joint ownership for estranged spouses

I am aware that HMRC will allow a 10-15% discount for jointly owned property but this is not allowed under the related property rules for spouses. However, what is the position where the posies are separated but haven’t initiated or finalised (in this instance for 10+years!). I cannot find any information on HMRC’s manual particularly the IHTM09731 - Related property: introduction.
