New legislation will come into force on 6 April 2009 that will affect organisations that own unregistered land in the name of trustees. If you own unregistered land, the effect of this legislation means that you must apply to Land Registry to register the land when it vests in a new trustee by: - a deed of appointment of a new trustee or a deed made in consequence of the appointment of a new trustee
- a memorandum executed as a deed evidencing the appointment of a new trusteeand to which s.83 of the Charities Act 1993 applies
- a vesting order of the court made under s.44 of the Trustee Act 1925 that is consequential on the appointment of a new trustee. An application for registration must also be made where unregistered land held in trust is partitioned amongst the beneficiaries of the trust. If the application relates to a large estate or comprises numerous parcels of land that would require it to be lodged at more than one Land Registry office please contact the Register Development Manager at one of our local offices as soon as possible. We will be able to consider procedural aspects specific to your estate and advise on a suitable method for preparing and successfully lodging your application.
