A Notification by Registrar to Personal Representative of an Application for Registration Jointly with Other Personal Representatives (Form LRA 41) is an official notice issued in Kenya by the Land Registrar to inform existing personal representatives that an additional representative has applied to be registered jointly. This jurisdiction-specific form is prescribed under the Land Registration Act and the Land Registration (General) Regulations, 2017, specifically Rule 56(4). It ensures transparency in estate administration by notifying all parties when new representatives seek registration.
This notice is issued by the Land Registrar to existing executors, administrators, or personal representatives already registered as proprietors of deceased estate property when another person applies to join them through Form LRA 40. It is intended to inform registered representatives that an additional executor or administrator has been appointed by the court and is seeking joint registration. This allows existing representatives to verify the legitimacy of the new appointment, raise any objections, or prepare for joint administration with the additional representative.
The form captures essential information including the title number, date of application, full name and identification or company registration number of the applicant seeking joint registration, and names and registration details of the personal representative(s) being notified. The notice must be served on each of the existing personal representatives individually to ensure all parties are properly informed. This procedural safeguard prevents unauthorized additions to estate administration.
The notice is signed by the Land Registrar with official stamp, making it a formal administrative communication. Upon receiving this notice, existing personal representatives can verify the new representative's authority by examining their Grant of Letters of Administration or Grant of Probate, and can raise concerns if the appointment appears irregular. If no objections arise, the applicant is registered as a joint proprietor with equal authority in estate administration within Kenya's land registration framework.
