When someone dies, there are lots of things to sort out. If the deceased person owned or part-owned a property, then this needs sorting as well.

Working in customer service, I'm often asked questions about what to do when a property owner dies. So I’m going to try to cover the main issues and answer common questions here.

Dealing with the deceased’s property can be relatively straightforward, but a solicitor is often involved in sorting out their affairs, including property. For that reason, people are not always certain what happens next.

Usually, the deceased’s will specifies a named person to deal with the estate (or the deceased’s next of kin if there is no will). They are responsible for the legal affairs and will often obtain ‘probate’ (where there is a will) or ‘letters of administration’ (no will), which enables them to act as the personal representative. Probate also enables the personal representative to transfer or sell the property.
