Transfer by Inheritance
Survivorship
This applies only where a property is held by more than one owner in the capacity "jointly and to vest in the survivor absolutely". It does not apply where the property is held by more than one owner in any other capacity. The survivor(s) need to provide the Death Certificate and a letter from the survivor(s) asking for the Register to be changed. There are no fees payable.
