QUERIES

24. SETTLED LAND-GRANT OF ADMINISTRATION-TRUSTEES.A. died in 1920 having by his will devised a freehold house to B. upon trust for his widow for life and at her death to fall into residue. He devised the residue to B. and the widow upon trust for sale, and appointed them executors. B. died in 1922 and in the same year the widow appointed X. and Y. trustees of the will in the place of herself, who retired, and B. deceased. The widow died intestate in 1927 and X. and Y. are desirous of selling the freehold house. It is submitted that the freehold house was settled land and that a special grant of administration to the widow must be obtained in respect thereof. The question is, Who are the trustees of the settlement created by the will, and thus entitled to the special grant, B.'s personal representatives or X. and Y? L. K. W.

25. JOINT TENANTS.-What is the effect of the Law of Property Act 1925, s. 36, and Law of Property (Amendment) Act 1926, s. 36, on joint tenants? For instance, A. and B. are seised as joint tenants of real estate purchased before 1926. Each of them have made wills in favour of the other. Would the survivor of them be solely and beneficially interested and entitled to the whole of the legal estate in the property within the meaning of sect. 36 of the (Amendment) Act 1926? Do the words "deal with his legal estate" in the last-mentioned section apply to the whole estate in the premises or merely to the interest of the survivor? What is the effect of the two sections quoted as applied to the survivor of partners holding as joint tenants? Presumably in the latter case the survivor would hold upon trust for sale and the proceeds of sale would belong to him and the personal representatives of the deceased partner. W. AND G.

26. TENANCY IN COMMON-SETTLED LAND-MORTGAGE.-We shall be obliged if any of your readers will kindly express an opinion on the following: A freehold farm, Whiteacre, was in the year 1915 conveyed to A. and B. (father and son) as tenants in common in equal shares. A. died early in 1925 and by his will (proved by B., the sole executor, in June 1925) charged his moiety of Whiteacre with a life annuity of £150 to his widow, C., and subject thereto devised all his estate to his son, B. No Settled Land Act trustees were appointed. There is no written assent, but it can be assumed that B. assented to the devise to himself prior to 1926. C. is still alive, and B. wishes to mortgage Whiteacre to his bank as security for a contemplated overdraft. First, is Whiteacre "settled land " within the Settled Land Act 1925, and should a vesting deed be executed in favour of B. ? If so, Settled Land Act trustees would first have to be appointed-presumably by B. and C., as the only persons interested. Secondly, if a vesting deed is necessary can B. then mortgage for purposes not authorised by the Settled Land Act? It should be remembered that the annuity attaches only to a moiety of Whiteacre. Thirdly, can B. by virtue of the Law of Property Amendment Act execute a mortgage of Whiteacre to the bank (subject to the annuity) without the necessity of a vesting deed and appointment of trustees? We are of opinion that he can do this, but would the bank get a good and marketable security"? Fourthly, would the bank's position be better and a vesting deed rendered unnecessary if C. joined with B. in the mortgage to the bank, or, alternatively, if she released her annuity? P. P. AND S.

27.-COPYHOLDS-MORTGAGE EXTINGUISHMENT OF MANORIAL INCIDENTS-REPAYMENT BY MORTGAGOR.-On the 6th Feb. 1897 A. B. mortgaged copyhold premises to C. D. to secure £400 and interest, and by deed of the same date surrendered the same to the lord of the manor. C. D. was never admitted, but A. B.'s name is still on the court rolls as tenant. C. D. died on the 7th Feb. 1921, and by his will C. D. appointed his son and daughter executors thereof, and gave and bequeathed unto them-All his real and personal estate and all that he might be entitled to at his death in equal portions share and share alike with power to sell, and directed his executors to pay to another son, William, £2 10s. per week out of his estate during the period of his lifetime. This son has not been heard of for a number of years. C. D.'s will was proved by E. F. and G. H., a son and daughter of C. D., on the 30th March 1921. A deed of partition was subsequently on the 1st June 1921 entered into between E. F. and G. H. (therein referred to as "the trustees") of the one part and E. F. of the second part and G. H. of the third part, whereby the copyhold property was conveyed to E. F., the son, and in such deed it was stated that the executors had made ample provision for the weekly sum of £2 10s. payable to testator's son William as aforesaid by the setting aside of certain government stocks and funds belonging to the testator's estate. The mortgagor wishes now to extinguish the manorial incidents, but on the court rolls the name of A. B. appears as tenant and C. D. as mortgagee by conditional surrender. The death of C. D. and the subsequent partition deed made between the parties as above stated, not being mentioned. Who are the proper parties to the compensation agreement? If C. D. had been alive the proper parties would have been the lord of the manor of the first part, A. B. (the tenant) of the second part, and C. D.

(the mortgagee) of the third part: (Prideaux's Conveyancing Precedents, 22nd edit., vol. 1, p. 875). But C. D. is now dead. Would it suffice if the compensation agreement were made between the lord of the one part and A. B. (the tenant) of the other part, and recite the mortgage by A. B. to C. D. of the 6th Feb. 1897 and the conditional surrender of the same date, the death of C. D. and proof of his will and that E. F. and G. H. were the executors thereof, and then the partition deed, or how? After the extinguishment of the manorial incidents A. B. intends to pay off the mortgage. How will this transaction have to be effected, having regard to the above facts and that C. D. appears to be mortgagee by conditional surrender on the court rolls? Precedent will oblige. ENQUIRER.

28. SUCCESSION DUTY.-A., by her will dated 1921, devised unto her trustees a messuage to stand possessed thereof upon trust, that B. should use and occupy the same and receive the rents and profits and income therefrom during her life, and after her death upon trust to sell the same and to stand possessed of the proceeds and after payment thereout of all expenses in connection therewith to pay over the balance of such proceeds to the Bible Society. A. died in 1923, her estate exceeding £1000 in value. B. purchased the interest of the society and thereby became possessed of the fee of the messuage, and has now contracted for the sale thereof. The trustees of A.'s will are independently represented and hold the deeds of the messuage. Would readers kindly give their views as to when succession duty is payable, and whether such duty could be accounted for and possibly commuted and paid without having to approach the trustees. It seems that the trustees would be compelled to see to duty being paid or accounted for satisfactorily before they were obliged to hand over the title deeds. VERITAS.

29. RENT RESTRICTION-APPORTIONMENT-PARTICULARS STANDARD RENT.-A. is the landlord of a dwelling-house which he has let to B. as a whole. B. occupies part and sublets the rest to C., who pays B. more rent for the part than B. pays for the whole house. The house is subject to the operation of the Rent Restrictions Acts. C. now wishes to obtain an apportionment of the rent. Can he compel either A. or B. to furnish him with particulars of the standard rent? If so, how? C. H.

30.-CONVEYANCE BY TENANT FOR LIFE.-R. B., being seised of Blackacre in fee simple, by his will settled same on his wife, L. A. B., for life, with remainders over. R. B. died in 1910. By vesting deed dated 1927 Blackacre was vested in L. A. B. as tenant for life in fee simple upon the trusts of the will, and F. S. and L. A. B. were declared trustees for the purposes of the Settled Land Act 1925. L. A. B. wishes to sell in exercise of powers vested in her as tenant for life. The contract for sale is governed by General Conditions 1925. The purchaser's solicitors consider the precedent books conflicting, and contend that L. A. B. should convey as beneficial owner with qualified covenants for title and give an undertaking for safe custody. Having regard to par 25, sects. 3 and 4, of the General Conditions, we fail to agree, and consider she should convey as trustee and give no undertaking. Please advise. C. B. L.

ANSWERS

21.-WILL-TITLE-LOAN.-Testator A. died in 1885 having made his will whereby he gave all his property freehold, leasehold, and other effects unto B., his wife, and after her death in equal portions to his niece C. and her brother D., or the survivor of them for their individual use only during their lives, and from and after their decease unto their children lawfully begotten in equal portions. B., testator's widow obtained probate of the will and died in 1888, when C. and D. entered into and remained in possession of the property until their respective deaths. D. died intestate in Jan. 1924, leaving a widow and two sons and, a daughter, and C. died intestate in Nov. 1926, leaving a husband and one daughter. The daughter of C. and the two sons and daughter of D. now require a loan on the property to pay estate and succession duty, and the cost of repairing the property. What estate and interest have they in the property, and how should they proceed to obtain such loan? AMICUS.

On the 1st Jan. 1926 the entirety of this property vested in the Public Trustee under the Law of Property Act 1925, Sched. I., Part IV., par. 1 (4). Before the beneficiaries can deal with the property they must, under the power conferred upon them by par. 1 (4) (iii.), appoint trustees in the place of the Public Trustee. As there are only four beneficiaries they can appoint themselves as trustees in his place. The property will then vest in the new trustees upon the statutory trusts, who can, as trustees for sale, under the power conferred on them by the joint operation of sect. 28 of the Law of Property Act 1925 and sects. 38 and 71 of the Settled Land Act 1925, sell or mortgage the property. It is impossible to say what beneficial interests the children take without seeing the exact words of the will. If C. and D. took a life interest as tenants in common their issue take per stirpes, so that C.'s daughter would take a moiety, the other moiety being divisible between D.'s children. If, however, C. and D. took as joint tenants, the children would take per capita, each being entitled to a quarter : (see Hawkins on Wills, 3rd edit., cap. X.). A.

It appears to me that at the end of 1925 one moiety of the freehold and leasehold land (i.e., C.'s moiety) was settled, but D.'s moiety was not settled, for the settlement had come to an end in respect of this latter moiety by reason of D.'s death. Therefore on the 1st Jan. 1926 the entirety of the land vested in the

Public Trustee (Law of Property Act 1925, Sched. I., Part IV., s. 1, sub-s. 4). The children of C. and D. can appoint new trustees under the proviso (iii.) to that sub-section. Then these trustees will be responsible for payment of the duties mentioned, and the cost of repairing the property: (Law of Property Act 1925, s. 35). G. O. S. 22. TOWN CLERK-WIG.-Is a town clerk who is not a solicitor or barrister entitled to wear a wig on ceremonial occasions with the corporation? X. Y. Z.

I do not know of any law or custom to prevent a town clerk who is not a barrister or solicitor wearing a wig and gown. So long as he does not do anything which would lead anyone to think he belongs to the Legal Profession, it seems he is entitled to wear any costume which is thought to lend dignity to the proceedings of his council. G. O. S.

23. TRUST FOR SALE-OPTION TO PURCHASE-CONVEYANCE.— A testator died in 1923 seised in unincumbered fee simple of a small dwelling-house. By his will he appointed his wife and A. executors thereof. He devised his dwelling-house above mentioned to his wife for life and after her death to A. upon trust for sale and to divide sale proceeds between his children, but prior to sale any child of testator's was to have the option to purchase at a valuation, and in the event of more than one child desiring to purchase the desire of an elder was to take preference to the desire of a younger child. The eldest son has now indicated his desire to purchase, the widow having recently died intestate. A. is still living. How can the conveyance to the son be best carried out? The widow was in receipt of rent of house until her death and no vesting deed has been executed. JURAT.

The proper method of dealing with this property must depend upon whether the testator's executors had assented to the devise to A. or not before 1926. If there had been such an assent, express or implied, the effect of the transitional provisions of the Law of Property Act 1925 was to vest the legal estate in the settled land in the widow, and it passed on her death to her personal representative, and must be got in from him. If, however, there was no such assent, the legal estate is now in A., as the testator's surviving personal representative. The property should be sold to the eldest son and the purchase price paid by him, the transaction being carried out by a deed dealing only with the equitable interest. This deed will not form part of the title. A., as the testator's personal representative, should then assent in writing to the dwelling-house vesting in the eldest son in accordance with the provisions of the Administration of Estates Act 1926, s. 36. When this is done the son will have a clear title, and the option to purchase conferred by the will and the purchase need not be abstracted on future dealings with the property. L. I.

The will is a settlement which has come to an end by the death of the widow. A. should appoint another trustee to act with him (Settled Land Act 1925, s. 30, sub-s. 3). Those trustees should then prove the widow's will: (Administration of Estates Act 1925, s. 22). Then they should assent to the house vesting in themselves on trust for sale (Law of Property Act 1925, Sched. VI., Specimen Abstract No. 2). Then they should convey to the son. This is not like the case of Re Flint (163 L. T. Jour. 255; (1927) 1 Ch. 570), where the trust for sale under the will had not arisen. The fact that no vesting deed was executed before the widow's death is immaterial. The house vested in her as tenant for life under the Law of Property Act 1925, Sched. I., Part II., par. 6 (c), and no vesting deed was required under sect. 13 of the Settled Land Act 1925, unless she wished during her life to exercise any of the powers given to her by that Act.
