New first registration triggers come into force today as a result of the coming into effect of the Land Registration Act 2002 (Amendment) Order 2008. From today, first registration will apply whenever unregistered land is vested in a new trustee by way of (a) a deed of appointment of a new trustee, or a deed made in consequence of the appointment of a new trustee; (b) a memorandum executed as a deed evidencing the appointment of a new trustee (to which section 83 of the Charities Act 1993 applies); and (c) a vesting order of the court made under section 44 of the Trustee Act 1925. First registration will also apply where unregistered land held in trust is partitioned amongst beneficiaries.
