Focus on Assents

An Assent is used to transfer a property after the owner has died. The personal representatives or executors of an estate transfer the property to a beneficiary.

Assents complement our collection of Wills & Probates when researching your family history.   They can also be very useful for house historians as the can give the value of a property and details of current occupiers.
