I Am The Sole Executor And Beneficiary Of My Late Father's Estate

[juliesides]

Do I need a Deed of Assent to transfer his property into my name. As executor I will be assenting the property to myself. Do I really need to do this?

[Birdfeeder]

don't know if this will help but there is a lot of good information on the gov.probate web site which I have found very useful in the past

Possibly, but I am not entirely sure as I sold my mother's house when she died last year instead of taking ownership. Try this link - I hope it helps you:-

Yes, you need to complete forms AS1

and AP1
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/change-the-register-ap1
and send them to HM Land Registry Citizen Centre PO Box 74 Gloucester GL14 9BB.
