RJRB   682 #1 Posted June 12, 2020 Can anyone give good advice on the following. A house has been left jointly to two pairs of cousins. I assume that the executor must obtain probate and pass joint ownership to the 4 beneficiaries. They will certainly all wish to sell the property and share the proceeds ,less costs equally. Is the process as informal as this? How does ownership pass jointly from the estate to the 4 beneficiaries Thanks  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ttparsons   10 #2 Posted June 12, 2020 There should not be any need to temporarily transfer the title if the property is to be sold.  Suggest the Executor and beneficiaries talk to the conveyancing solicitor to be used for the sale.

Yes, in most cases- unless there's any conflict of interest amongst them. But a Grant of Probate is needed before the Executor can deal with any such sale.
