Survivorship Applications
Survivorship Applications (Transmission Applications) – Removing a Deceased Owner From Title
When a property is jointly owned and one of the owners passes away, the surviving owner is typically required to update the title to reflect sole ownership. This process is completed through a Survivorship Application (Transmission Application) registered electronically through Teraview. At Ellahi Law Professional Corporation, we have nearly 9 years of experience handling real estate title matters, including survivorship applications, and we assist clients in completing these registrations accurately and efficiently.
We understand that dealing with title transfers after the loss of a loved one can feel overwhelming. Our role is to make the legal process straightforward by handling the required documentation, reviewing title records, and ensuring the survivorship application is properly registered so the surviving owner's title is clear and up to date.
What is a Survivorship Application?
When property is held in joint tenancy, ownership automatically passes to the surviving owner upon the death of one of the registered owners. However, the Land Registry records must still be updated to remove the deceased owner's name from title. This requires a survivorship application supported by proper legal documentation, including a death certificate and other required declarations.
Our firm prepares and registers these applications through Teraview and ensures all legal requirements are properly satisfied.
Our Services for Survivorship Applications Include:
• Reviewing title to confirm joint tenancy ownership
• Preparing survivorship (transmission) applications
• Preparing required supporting affidavits and declarations
• Registering the application electronically through Teraview
• Advising on title implications and next steps
