I send Form RX1, death certificate, grant of probate, copy Will, copy deed of appointment of trustees (if it differs from executors), deed of variation (if any for retrospective severance by way of d of v). If there is already a Form A restriction on the title they won’t need the form DJP as that only applies to joint tenants not tenants in common.
I think a personal application will also need a Form AP1 and an ID1.
Any solicitor is considered a conveyancer though by the land registry.
I don’t do conveyancing which I know we tend to think as sales and purchases but I do severances of joint tenancies, registering trusts, first registrations etc. I have a land registry portal account which is very handy and is so good - I don’t know why the probate portal can’t be based on the same system - so easy to use!
Also I find land registry cannot cope with more than one application so say your clients were joint tenants and you have carried out a retrospective severance by deed of variation. It is best for you to put in the Form DJP so the title is in the sole name of the surviving spouse and then make a second land registry application for a Form N restriction.
Sorry for the long reply - you know what solicitors are like.
Kind regards,
Claire Flood.
