A Conveyancers Guide to Trustees, Transactions & Registration - Live at Your Desk

Introduction

You may deal with commercial or domestic conveyancing and might think trusts are a specialised area - that may well be so, but trusts arise in many of your everyday conveyancing matters, such as acting for joint buyers, executors, or a partnership.

It is timely to review the law and practice that surrounds this topic to avoid problems both with your clients and the Land Registry which has its own specific requirements for trusts.
