By law, Land Registry always has to assume that personal representatives are acting within their powers. The Land Registry is not empowered to investigate whether any transfer is in accordance with a will.

Personal representatives might become the registered owners in their capacity as personal representatives.

Personal  representatives could transfer the property to the beneficiary (or to the executor as trustee) by a deed called an assent (they can do this without being registered as owners first).
