Private Trusts of Land / Property

Non-charitable unincorporated associations:

A variety of unincorporated bodies may fall in this category, such as clubs, societies (including unincorporated friendly societies) and trade unions. Their Property is generally vested in trustees, or a trust corporation, in trust for the members of the association. As the trustee or the survivor of the trustees, unless a trust corporation, will be unable to give a valid receipt for capital money, a Form A restriction will be required, and if necessary should be applied for by the Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers for the association.

Sometimes the rules of the association state how the Property is to be dealt with. In this case the statement in the declaration of trust panel on the transfer form or form FR1 should refer to the rules. Suitable wording is given in section: Declaration of Trust. Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers may also wish to apply for a restriction in form R.

The wording of this restrictions is:

'No disposition [or specify details] of the registered estate [other than a charge (mortgage)] by the proprietor of the registered estate [or by the proprietor of any registered charge] is to be registered unless authorised by the rules of the [name of club] of [address] as evidenced [by a resolution of its members or by a certificate signed by its secretary or Conveyancer [or specify appropriate details]'

When applying for a form R restriction, Conveyancing Solicitors and Property lawyers need to specify how the Registrar will know that the rules of the association have been complied with. A certificate to that effect signed by the club secretary or Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers or a resolution of the club members, will usually be the simplest method.

Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers will need to consider whether there is any limitation on the powers of the trustees by virtue of section 8 TLATA. For the purposes of that section, the rules of the association are likely to be regarded as the disposition creating the trust. If they contain such a limitation, Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers must apply for a restriction in form B. See section: The Form B restriction - where the trustees powers are limited.

Land Registry do not generally want to see a copy of the rules of the association. Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers therefore tend not to forward a copy to the Registrar.

Partnership Property:

In some cases, where a registered estate is partnership Property, Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers may apply for a restriction preventing the registration of a disposition after the death of any of the proprietors without the consent of the personal representatives of the deceased. The appropriate restriction is form Q. A form A restriction will also be needed.

However, if the partnership agreement expressly requires such a consent to be obtained, the trustees must instruct Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers to apply for a restriction in form B.

Pension Funds:

The portfolios of pension funds frequently include registered estates. They will generally be vested in the managing trustees, or in a custodian trustee (sometimes with others) on trust for the managing trustees. Sometimes a corporate trustee plays the role of the managing trustees.

Any application to register the trustees as proprietors of a registered estate should be accompanied by an application for a restriction in form B if one is required. A form A restriction will also be required, and if necessary should be applied for by the Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers.

However, if the pension scheme is a public, rather than a private, trust Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers should says so in the application. In that case, Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers must supply a copy of the trust deed. If the powers of the trustees are limited, they should apply for an appropriate restriction, for example form B.
