good idea maureen one question I am quite a novice at this is there any way I can look at miss jenkin probate list.Her names on the deeds of my late mothers house deeds and me and my sisters cant sell her house untill miss jenkin is removed from the deeds,our soliciter is finding it very difficult to get her name removed,my mother when she was alive couldnt have known about it,we are at a standstill at the moment I cant believe my solicitor cant find her name anywhere??any help you can give me would be most gratefully accepted.Thank you so much for the help so far.jeffx

1911 Cornwall House.
Wonder if it was built by her uncle who came from Cornwall, a builder, same as her father, or if it was just named after his birthplace.

Here is the probate info,
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Calendar?surname=Jenkin&yearOfDeath=1983&page=2#calendar
You would have to purchase to find anymore info.

You can get a copy of her will from that site for £10.

subsequently my mother bought one of her many houses off her
I hate to ask, but is there proof of this, as you say that Ada Jenkin's name is still on the deeds?

I was thinking the same. Without proof of purchase, legally it belongs to her estate I would think.

It seems odd that if she died in 1982 that things weren't sorted out then as her will obviously went to probate and her estate was valued at almost £55,000.

Nothing to add except I made a mistake on my reply-meant to write Cornwalll ROAD not Street.
Sorry.
Hope you get things straightened out.

Your solicitor should be able to have her name removed from the deeds by contacting the Land Registry. Although not quite the same, my solicitor had to do this when it was discovered after her death, that the deeds of my mother's house were still in joint name with my father who had died 10 years earlier. It was quite easy for him to have the name removed, all he needed was proof of my father's death.
However, I think Cas and my concern is that unless you have written proof that Mrs Jenkin did sell the house to your mother, you may have problems. If I were you, I would suggest to your solicitor that he obtains Ada's will and that should name all her estate that she left to her heirs. If your mother's house isn't on there, at least that shows it didn't still belong to Ada.
I hope it all works out well for you.
