My friend is acting as executrix for her father's estate. His will was very simple, everything is passing to her. There are few assets save for 20 acres agricultural lands, which are registered with the Land Registry. She made a personal application for Probate and got same. She is now wondering if she can avoid going to a solicitor for the registration of the property in her name. I understand it is necessary to do a deed of assent and make an application to the land registry to have the property put in her name. She believes there is no complications with the title, as her dad bought the land a few years ago and the title was investigated by his solicitor at that time. There were no borrowings on it.
It seems doable, but I'm wondering is there anything we're not aware of that would mean only a practicing solicitor can deal with this matter? Or any other complications I may have overlooked?
Thanks
