FEUDAL
ABOLITION - STATUTORY FORMS
Background
In terms of Section 5 of the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc (Scotland)
Act 2000, it will no longer be necessary to endorse a Warrant of
Registration on a deed presented for recording in the General Register
of Sasines after the 28 November 2004 (the appointed day). Instead,
there will be a new, statutory Sasine Application Form (SAF) prescribed
by Scottish Ministers which must accompany deeds presented for recording.
In addition, amendments to the Land Registration (Scotland) Act
1979 resulting from the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc (Scotland)
Act 2000 and the Title Conditions (Scotland) Act 2003 require minor
alterations to the Land Register Forms 1,2 and 3. The revised versions
of the forms replace the existing forms from the appointed day.
Sasine Application Form
Transition
The Sasine Application Form does not become statutory until 28 November
2004. However, the Keeper will introduce the form to replace the
Computerised Presentment Book (CPB2) from 20 October 2004. This
will give customers the opportunity to become familiar with the
new Form and allow old stocks of the CPB2 to be withdrawn prior
to 28 November.
It should be noted that until 28 November all deeds presented for
recording in the Sasine Register will still require the Warrant
of Registration to be written or endorsed thereon. An appropriately
completed statutory form must accompany any deed presented for recording
in the Register of Sasines received after 26 November. And deed
presented for recording with a Warrant of Registration but not accompanied
by a statutory Form will be returned to the presenting party.
Form Availability
Paper copies of the Sasine Application Form will be available from
Registers of Scotland Customer Service Centres from 20 October.
In addition, the eforms online CPB2 Form will be replaced by the
Sasine Application Form on this day. (A PDF copy can be downloaded
from the link below).
Land Register Forms
Transition
The revised versions of the Land Register Forms 1, 2 and 3 replace
the existing Forms 1, 2 and 3 from 28 November 2004. Applications
received thereafter should be accompanied by the new version of
the relevant form.
The new versions of these forms should not be used for applications
lodged before 28 November. Likewise, from 28 November, the old versions
of the forms should not be used.
Form Availability
Paper copies of the new Forms 1,2 and 3 will be available from Registers
of Scotland Customer Service Centres from 1 November. In addition,
the eforms online versions of the forms will be available from 26
November. (PDF copies can be downloaded from the links below from
1 November).
