Many families would not do anything, but to keep things in order I would suggest doing things properly.

The executors of the Will (your dad?) should apply for probate and complete the relevant IHT forms (possibly the simpler IHT205 if her assets were below £325,000 - but double check this). Based on the information there shouldn't be any IHT to pay.

Once you have probate, your wife should be added onto the land registry and your mother removed. You will need a lawyer to put in place a declaration of trust specifying the ownership percentages.

Assuming mum and dad are both on the Land Registry title then you do not need probate to transfer mum's 20% of the property to your wife. Dad, as sole surviving legal owner of the property, can transfer the title into his, your and your wife's joint names. Probate would be needed if other assets are in your mum's sole name, to transfer those assets.

Thanks for the replies, just for further clarification ,
Currently Dad owns 20 % , my Mom owned 20 % , my wife owns 30 % , I own 30 % ( have done so for the last 7 yrs plus when the first transfers to us were made)
On present valuation, both Dad's 20 % & Mom's 20 % are much much less than £ 325,000
Thanks

Dad does not wish to transfer any of Mom's estate to himself , also Mom's & Dad's mirror will says on passing of either, the deceased estate should go to my wife in my Mom's case,to me in case of my Dad's passing.

My Dad wanted to make a new Will recently and so he dug out his old papers.
Apparently he found my Moms last will in which she actually left her 20 % to my Dad. So my Dad has 40 % today, which at todays valuation amounts to £ 600,000
Mom passed away over two years ago.
Does her exemption of £ 325,000 automatically add to my Dads £ 325,000 ?
Is there any formality to be done , forms to fill out ?
Thank you

Kumar

Just adding ,
Mom had no assets solely owned by herself.
A savings account was in joint names of My Dad, My Mom and myself.
Thank you
