Hi,
I would be grateful for any help.
I am the executor of my late father's will.
My father made a will, post (second) marriage, leaving all his property and possessions to his three children.
He explicitly stated that his wife was to receive nothing.
The property is owned as tenants in common, however a trust deed from 30 years ago, which my father seemed to have forgotten about, states that his wife was the sole beneficiary of the house.
This will be subject to a proprietary estoppel claim due to a number of issues and is not my immediate concern.
I have recently found out that his wife (who is totally unapproachable) has placed the house on the market and I am therefore concerned that she will sell the house, gift the money to her daughter, and disappear into the ether. (£450,000)
Am I right in saying that I need to complete an RX1 form from the land registry and apply for a restriction on the house?
And if so, does anyone know how I would word the restriction as it doesn't appear to fit in with any of the standard forms of restriction on the land registry website.
Many thanks, any help would be much appreciated.
