In that case, the estate is vested in him or her subject to any registered charge. After 1996 it has not been possible to create a new settlement. The purpose of this power is to enable the current practice to continue for now, whilst leaving open the possibility that the practice might be changed in future. 146.Section 91 lays down a uniform requirement for making an electronic document, whether that document does the work of a formal deed, such as a transfer or a charge, which must be witnessed, or of unwitnessed signed writing, such as a contract. As an exception to the general principle, registered dispositions are given special effect or priority when made for valuable consideration: any interests not protected in the register are subordinated to a registered disposition, unless the unregistered interests override. 207.Interests which do not appear in the register, yet bind the person who acquires any interest in registered land, are considered to be an unsatisfactory feature in registered conveyancing. [24] Land registration is governed by the Land Transfer Act 1952.[25]. 250.Paragraph 4 provides that if there is no such requirement then the applicant must be entered in the register as the new proprietor paragraph 9 deals with the effect of such registration (and of registrations under paragraph 7). If the law relating to rights of pre-emption is as discussed above, then this Act will change the law in its application to registered land so this section provides that it applies to rights of pre-emption created on or after the Act comes into force. They will not then cease to have effect but a first registered proprietor or a purchaser under a registered disposition will only be bound by them if they are the subject of a notice in the register. Where a company creates a legal charge over its property, that charge will not only be registrable under the Act, but it will also be required to be registered under the Companies Act 1985. Rules will cover when boundary fixing can occur, how it will be done and what procedures will be used. In other cases it is the transferee or grantee who must apply. 295.Paragraph 18 amends the Housing Act 1985. X has been in adverse possession, has herself been dispossessed by a second squatter, Y, and has then recovered the land from Y. By virtue of section 11(4)(c), C will take free of As rights unless, at the time of registration, he had notice of them. These documents are generally signed by at least one of the parties and one of the witnesses of the deeds. 157.The Act provides a new scheme for adverse possession in relation to a registered estate in land. 68.Under the proposals on electronic conveyancing, it will not be possible to create or transfer many interests in registered land expressly except by simultaneously registering them or protecting them by a notice in the register. A then abandons the land and B resumes possession of it. The registered proprietor can stop the squatter from acquiring title by objecting to his or her application for registration. At present the benefit of a right of way contained in a lease is not recorded in the landlords title. The rules may specify terms for the regulation of the use of the network. Where the proprietor does object, the application will be rejected unless the squatter can meet one of three limited exceptions. The Land Registry has now automated many of its functions, which can now be accessed on line. It also modernises procedures for returning to economic use land which has reverted to Crown ownership (usually in the course of insolvency proceedings). This is likely to provide that no disposition is to be made of the estate except by order of the court, or by or on the direction of the Crown Estate. Rules under this provision are intended to cover the situations where: Cautions against first registration provide a means by which a person with an interest in. At present, cautions are often entered in preference to notices where transactions are of a commercially sensitive character, because the entry of a caution in the register gives no indication as to the matter that lies behind it. These leases will include underground railway lines, stations and other installations. The fee order will not however deal with fees for the new consultancy and advisory services (see section 105) nor with the provision of information by the registrar to a person who has the function of providing historical information about registered titles under section 69(3). In the absence of a fee simple, Her Majesty cannot register demesne land, since only estates in land are registrable. Rules may require that a user use the system for the transactions for which he is authorised to use it. When the appointment ends, he is eligible for reappointment. As work proceeded an additional factor had to be considered. The section also provides a third and novel method of achieving the same priority for two advances by recording a maximum figure for the total money lent. To fail the test as formulated in the Act, it is the occupation that has to be obvious not the interest. This registration gap has created scope for a number of problems. 322.Where, immediately prior to the coming into force of the Act, a squatter has been in adverse possession for the requisite period, the registered proprietor will hold the registered estate on a bare trust for the squatter under section 75 of the 1925 Act. It is these rights that may be the subject of court proceedings which ultimately give rise to an alteration in the register. It makes one change to the current law. 134.Subsection (2) gives specific guidance as to some of the rules that may be made. This is not the case in relation to an electronic document covered by this section as the document is not a deed, merely treated as if it were. 99.The sole purpose of section 52 is to protect the rights of someone in whose favour a disposition is made by a chargee. The registrar may alter the register for the same purposes as the court can under paragraph 2 and additionally, he can remove a superfluous entry. The exact positions of the legal boundaries are almost never shown on registered title plans and are not shown on Ordnance Survey maps. A person may, however, be registered only with qualified title, if the registrar considers that the applicants title can only be established for a limited period, or subject to certain reservations. 115.Section 68 provides that the registrar must keep an index which will indicate for any parcel of land in England and Wales, if there are any registered estates relating to that parcel and if there are, the title number or other identifier used for the register(s) relating to that parcel. The entry is to be made against the registered estate or registered charge that is said to be burdened. The fact that a deed of arrangement and an order appointing a receiver or sequestrator cannot be the subject of a notice means that the only way of protecting such a deed or order is by means of a restriction. This title plan shows the general position of the boundaries: it does not show the exact line of the boundaries. [1], Cadastral systems and land registration are both types of land recording and complement each other. a residual category of land which includes the royal palaces and parks. These are addressed in Part 3 of the Act. These rules are subject to greater Parliamentary scrutiny than land registration rules generally and the Lord Chancellor must also consult before making the rules. (2) Accordingly, on and after 1st December 1990, registration of title to land shall be compulsory on sale in the areas mentioned in column 2 of the Schedule to this Order. 221.Paragraph 6 relates to the creation of a rentcharge or profit prendre which is for seven years or more and so therefore capable of registration in its own right. In the case of a registered leasehold the squatter is registered as proprietor of that leasehold. It deals with the following issue. What does it mean when the throttle control light comes on? Currently, only leases with more than 21 years to run may be registered voluntarily. 229.The provisions of this Schedule bear no relation to the existing provisions in the Land Registration Act 1925. Registered charge: a type of mortgage to secure the re-payment of money or the performance of an obligation. A person applying to be registered as proprietor of a leasehold estate may be registered (in substance, as now), as proprietor with an absolute, good leasehold, qualified or possessory title. Rules will therefore provide guidance as to when the buyer has to provide information, and in relation to which interests it is required. Replicating the existing system, section 102 provides that the Lord Chancellor may prescribe fees for dealing with the Land Registry but that the order must be made with the advice and assistance of the Rule Committee (see section 127(2)) and with the consent of the Treasury. In doing this, the Act for the first time separates out those interests that are binding on the proprietor who seeks first registration of title from those interests which bind on a subsequent disposal of registered land, since the considerations to be applied in the two situations are different. In particular, it is likely that his expertise may be in demand in relation to the development of electronic registration systems in other countries. Section 99 provides for the continuation of the Registry with the Chief Land Registrar, appointed by the Lord Chancellor, at its head. The section specifically provides that a document varying the priority order of registered charges is included within the dispositions of registered charges covered by the section. 218.Paragraph 2 provides that on a transfer of the whole of the registered estate, the transferee (or any person who has acquired the estate from him) must be entered in the register as proprietor. Indemnity: payment to a person who has suffered loss in relation to the matters set out in paragraph 1 of Schedule 8, for example, where there is a mistake in a register. 126.Section 78 ensures that the registrar can carry on his job without worrying about possibly being implicated in a breach of trust. Section 49(1)(f) to (k) of the 1925 Act enables certain matters also to be protected by means of a notice. Initially registration was voluntary. The current legislation does not clearly establish that a person can rely upon the register to say whether there are any limitations on the powers of a registered proprietor, and safely act in reliance upon it. It can be given in the case of a defective title, if the defect will not cause the holding to be challenged. The effect of the section is that where a person makes a notifiable application (as set out in the section) for a restriction the registrar must serve notice on the registered proprietor and such other persons as rules may prescribe. The Act therefore provides for the Lord Chancellor to regulate by rules transactions that can be carried out electronically. Similarly, restrictions and inhibitions are to have the same effect as restrictions under the Act. the disapplication of certain requirements relating to Duchy land. It is the means by which an electronic document can be authenticated as that of the party making it. 293.Paragraph 2 Section 44 of the Law of Property Act 1925 currently provides that under a contract for the grant of a lease, an intending lessee is not entitled to see the leasehold title out of which it is being granted (if any) or the title to the freehold of that land. As at present with proceedings before the Solicitor, hearings before the adjudicator are to be held in public unless the adjudicator is satisfied that the exclusion of the public is just and reasonable. 234.Paragraph 6 relates only to rectification cases, that is where the alteration to the register prejudicially affects the title of the registered proprietor. 79.Unilateral notices may be entered without the registered proprietors consent. The registrar must also produce an annual report on the business of the Land Registry to the Lord Chancellor. This section includes provision that the Lord Chancellors powers to make subordinate legislation are to exercised by statutory instrument and lays down the Parliamentary procedure to be used. 230.Paragraph 2 enables the court to order the alteration of the register in three situations: secondly, to bring the register up to date; (if, for example, a court decided that a claimant in proceedings had established his or her entitlement to an easement by prescription over a parcel of registered land, it could order that the benefit and burden of the easement be recorded in the registers of the affected titles); and. It would thus suffice if: X is the successor in title of an earlier squatter from whom he or she acquired the land, and, taken together, the two periods of adverse possession amount to ten years; or. Defective titles may still be registered as absolute if the registrar considers that the defect will not cause the holding under the title to be disturbed. It can be given in the case of a defective title, if the defect will not cause the holding to be challenged. Rules will also stipulate how the fact that the boundaries are fixed is recorded in the Registrys records including the register of title. It will, therefore, best be introduced in stages, starting with the simplest transactions and progressing to the more complex. Freehold is the estate which is the nearest equivalent to absolute (and permanent) ownership. 284.Paragraph 7 sets out the entitlement of a person to apply to the court to determine if indemnity is payable, and if so, how much. Such interests create a number of problems, since people can find that they have bought estates which are subject to adverse interests which are not be clear from the register, and can be quite difficult to determine. The provisions of these sections will therefore, over time, also become obsolete. At present, rules made under the Land Registration Act 1925 are made by the Lord Chancellor with the advice and assistance of a Rule Committee. Under the current law, valuable consideration does include a transfer of land in consideration of marriage. a contract for sale or a restrictive covenant). Landholding certificate is the prima facie evidence of the truth of the matters contained in the land records. The registration of manors gives rise to many practical difficulties in the Land Registry. 251.At present, where a squatter has been in adverse possession for the required period the registered proprietor holds the registered estate on trust for the squatter. 169.Section 106 enables the registrar, if he considers it expedient, to do so in connection with the specified functions to form, or participate in the formation of, or purchase or invest in, a company. The first entitlement belongs to the legal owners of the land. Secondly, the Act enables rules to be made providing for boundaries to be fixed when that is required, for example on the resolution of a boundary dispute or one over adverse possession. If this is done then it will be necessary to make consequential amendments (and possibly transitional provisions). At the end of the two year period, subsisting cautions against first registration lodged by the landowner will cease to have effect unless an application has been made for first registration. The third right of recourse goes beyond the insurers right of subrogation. 301.Paragraph 28 adds the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry to the list of judicial officers in Schedule 5 to this Act. The legal estate reverts to the person transferring it (who then, however, holds it on a trust for the intended recipient). Schedule 1 lists the interests which are overriding on first registration and are therefore binding on the proprietor even though there is no entry in the register (see sections 11(4) and 12(4)). At one extreme, they have ordered A to convey the freehold of the land in issue to B. Paragraph 8 states that for the purposes of the Limitation Act 1980, the liability to pay indemnity is a simple contract debt. The extension of compulsory registration to leases with seven or more years to run will considerably extend the market data available. The first condition set out in paragraph 5 is intended to provide statutory recognition for the equitable principles of proprietary estoppel. 213.Paragraphs 4 and 5 provide that a customary right or public right will override first registration. Under the Act it will no longer be possible to lodge such a caution but existing cautions will remain in the register by virtue of the transitional provisions contained in paragraphs 1 and 2(3) of Schedule 12. 316.Similarly, where a local land charge whose status as such was preserved by the Local Land Charges Act 1975 is presently protected under section 70(1)(i) it will, by virtue of paragraph 13, be protected under paragraph 6 of Schedule 1 or Schedule 3. When the appointment ends, he or she is eligible for reappointment. The Land Registration Act 2002 leaves the 1925 system substantially in place but enables the future compulsory introduction of electronic conveyancing using electronic signatures to transfer and register property. The existence of this duty entitles the person adversely affected to bring an action for damages. This means, for example, that rectification relates back to the time when the instrument was executed and after rectification the instrument is to be read as if it had been drawn up in its rectified form. First, if a legal estate, such as an easement or profit prendre, subsists for the benefit of a registered estate, the entry must be made in the register relating to that registered estate. Whereas inhibitions prevent the entry of any dealing in the register, however, the entry of a restriction under the Act might be of more limited effect. Firstly, until a decision has been made about the correction of a register by rectification, no entitlement to indemnity arises in respect of a mistake in a register. 96.Section 49 deals with the existing legal doctrine of tacking. 182.If the law relating to rights of pre-emption is as discussed above, then this Act will change the law in its application to registered land so this section provides that it applies to rights of pre-emption created on or after the Act comes into force. However, the Land Registration Act 1925 made registration compulsory and it was gradually phased in until by 1990 any transfer of land or property triggered the need to register it at the Land Registry. This power will enable the registrar to offer consultancy services both within England and Wales and elsewhere. The purpose of the Act was to help simplify conveyancing and create a system which allowed a purchaser to see the title to land in one single document called the Title Information Document. This section introduces Schedule 6 which makes provision for such registration. 228.Paragraph 3 provides that the priority of a legal easement or profit prendre is protected without the need for registration, but, unlike the situation on first registration, there are exceptions which give this provision a much more limited scope. The effect is that a mortgagee will hold the surplus on trust for any subsequent mortgagee of whose mortgage it has notice, actual, constructive or imputed. Once a caution against first registration has been entered, no registration of the estate affected will be made until notice has been served on the cautioner and an opportunity given to appear before the registrar and oppose the application for first registration. Owners who have consented to the lodging of a caution against first registration are generally prohibited by. Original deeds and their schedules were not retained by the registry, but rather detailed summaries (called "memorials") of conveyancing and mortgage documents are stamped and filed by the registrar. 195.The current land registration system began in 1875 under the Land Transfer Act 1875. It was originally set up to enforce the legislation regarding ownership of land by Catholics. An example illustrates an effect of this section - if two registered proprietors were to hold an estate on trust for a number of beneficiaries, a restriction might be entered to ensure that the proceeds of any registered disposition are paid to at least two trustees or to a trust corporation. S, a squatter, goes into adverse possession of the land during As lifetime and remains there. Subsection (2) provides that a unilateral notice must indicate that it is such a notice, and identify the beneficiary. Overriding interests: those adverse interests whose priority is automatically protected on first registration of title, or on a registered disposition of registered land, without the need for registration. This means a record of your ownership is not held centrally at Land Registry. In normal circumstances the adjoining landowners title would be extended or diminished as a result of the changes. These proceedings may be to determine specific issues or the entirety of the matter. 103.Section 56 is concerned with the identity of the persons entitled to give a valid receipt for the money secured by a charge which is registered in the names of one or more proprietors following the death of one or more of the proprietors.

Rules may specify the circumstances in which the court is under a duty to order the alteration of the register in situations where the alteration does not prejudicially affect the title of the registered proprietor, i.e. This section introduces Schedule 6 which makes provision for such registration. Rules made under this paragraph are subject to greater Parliamentary scrutiny than land registration rules are generally (see section 128) and the Lord Chancellor must also consult before making the rules. The section can be applied to any document in electronic form which effects the disposition of a registered estate or charge, is a disposition of an interest which is noted in the register; or triggers first registration of title of unregistered land. 2.The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. From there, one of the correct processes can be determined. Section 72(2) makes new express provision for the protection of priorities, and confirms that an application is protected if there is a priority period in existence under a search and the application is made before the priority period has come to an end. Unless the registrar is satisfied that the objection is groundless, he must give notice of the objection to the applicant and may not complete the application whilst that objection still exists. For example, if just one link in a conveyancing chain is conducted in the conventional paper-based manner, the advantages of electronic chain management are likely to be lost. Leases of more than seven years, (and certain other leases as specified in section 27), will be registered in their own right rather than just recorded in the register relating to the landlords title. Unregistered interests which fall within any of the paragraphs of Schedule 1 (that is, those that override first registration). This section makes special provision for the effect of bankruptcy, to reflect the provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986. 14.One important aspect of the current legislation changed by the Act is that of overriding interests. 119.This is a new duty. 253.The present provision (Land Registration Act 1925, section 75) that the registered proprietor holds on trust for a squatter is not carried forward to the Act because the circumstances where a squatter will be entitled (under paragraph 5) to be registered as proprietor are limited and such a right will be protected against third parties provided that the squatter is in actual occupation of the land in question. People occupying the Land: Other people who may be interested in the land are people who have lived on the land for a long time. 69.This section provides that the priority of an interest affecting a registered estate or charge is not affected by a disposition (whether or not the interest or disposition is registered). This means She is unable to get the benefits of registration, current and under the Act.
