Procedural guide—application for a freezing order—family proceedings

Procedural guide—application for a freezing order—family proceedings Where there are concerns that a party intends to dispose of assets in a way that will defeat a claim for financial provision, or has already done so, immediate action may have to be taken to secure the assets. Freezing orders (historically known as Mareva injunctions) are an interim remedy and may be made under Family Procedure Rules 2010 (FPR 2010), SI 2010/2955, Pt 20 or under the inherent jurisdiction. An application to restrain future dealings is most commonly made under section 37 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 (MCA 1973) or Schedule 5 Part 14, para 74(2) of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 (CPA 2004). The purpose is to prevent a party removing assets located in England and Wales, or dealing with assets wherever they are located. The applicant has to show that there is a good arguable case against the respondent and a real risk that a judgment will go unsatisfied because of the disposal by the respondent, or that refusal...

Perfecting security in real estate finance transactions—checklist

Perfecting security in real estate finance transactions—checklist This Checklist sets out the steps which property lawyers need to take to perfect security in a real estate finance transaction. Real estate finance lenders will typically want to take a full security package over all of the assets relating to the real estate. A real estate lawyer in a multi-disciplinary team will likely be responsible for arranging or inputting into the following securities and documentation: • security over the land, rental income, insurance proceeds, development and construction and contractual rights • reviewing the management agreement and negotiating a duty of care agreement (although in a multi-disciplinary team, this is sometimes handled by the banking and finance lawyer) • dealing with completion undertakings and post completion registration of the legal charge at Companies House and HM Land Registry as well as giving third party notices regarding rent payment, notice of charge where necessary of assignment of contractual rights or warranties See Practice Notes: Security in real estate finance transactions, Taking security over land...

Excluded property from 6 April 2017—flowcharts

Excluded property from 6 April 2017—flowcharts These flowcharts are designed to help determine if an asset is excluded property for the purposes of UK inheritance tax (IHT) on or after 6 April 2017. The flowcharts consider whether an asset is excluded property or not, depending on the situs of the property and the domicile of the beneficial owner or settlor as appropriate. However, the detailed provisions relating to excluded property should be referred to and practitioners should also consider whether a double tax treaty may apply to override the excluded property regime depending on the particular circumstances of a matter. See Practice Note: Double taxation relief—summary. Conversely, unilateral relief from IHT may apply where a tax of a similar nature has already been levied in respect of the same asset by a foreign tax authority. For further information, see Practice Notes: Excluded property trusts—key events affecting IHT status and Situs of assets for succession and IHT. Situs of property The situs of an asset is important for determining the...

Charity land disposals

Identifying charity landCharity land can be held by any person or group of persons. The purpose for which the land is held determines whether or not it is charity land. In many instances land is held by a registered charity. However, it is possible that a company (whether limited by shares or guarantee), a local authority, a body of trustees or an unincorporated association might be holding land on the terms of a charitable trust without necessarily even being aware that it is doing so. See below for the statutory definition of ‘charity land’.Different types of charity for the purpose of land transactionsThere are three types of charity for the purpose of disposal, each of which requires a different procedure:•exempt charities—any charity listed in Schedule 3 to the Charities Act 2011 (CA 2011) is an exempt charity (this includes academies, foundation and voluntary schools, sixth form college corporations and most universities, certain museums and galleries and various charitable societies (eg housing associations)•non-exempt charities—although the term 'non-exempt charity' does not actually...

Can a unilateral notice be registered against a property owned by a party to financial remedy proceedings where that property is co-owned by a third party?

Can a unilateral notice be registered against a property owned by a party to financial remedy proceedings where that property is co-owned by a third party? Section 30 of the Family Law Act 1996 (FLA 1996) provides that where one spouse (or civil partner) has the right to occupy a dwelling house, the other spouse is entitled to register home rights, provided that the property has been the matrimonial home. Those home rights may be protected, in the case of a property held in the sole name of one spouse only, by way of a notice being registered with the Land Registry. If the title to the property is registered, then the application for the home rights notice should be made using Form HR1—Application for registration of a notice of home rights. If the property is unregistered, an application may be made to the Land Charges Department for the registration of a Class F land charge. A spouse may only protect their interest in one property at...

Can an application under section 37 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 for a freezing order be made after a final order has been granted?

Can an application under section 37 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 for a freezing order be made after a final order has been granted? Section 37 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 (MCA 1973) is a powerful weapon. It enables the court to restrain a proposed disposition of an asset, or to set aside a disposition of an asset. As a result, a party who seeks to, for example, transfer property to a family member with a view to it falling outside of the matrimonial pot can be thwarted by the operation of the section. The disposition must be made with the intention of defeating the claim of a spouse for financial relief, which is a high bar; however pursuant to MCA 1973, s 37(5), this intention is presumed (though the presumption is rebuttable) where the disposition was made within three years of the date of the application to set aside the disposition. The section does not apply to dispositions made for valuable consideration to a bona fide third...
