Hi there.

In 2019 my parents put their property (house) into a trust and made myself and my sister Trustees, with my brother, sister and myself Beneficiaries. According to my parents the Land Registry has not been informed of the Trust and as a Trustee I am concerned that the Trust should be registered with the Land Registry and titles changed accordingly. Can you tell me please if this is necessary and if so what forms do I (we) need to submit? I am led to believe that an RX1 needs to be completed but does a TR1? 

My parents were Tenants in Common and consequently have a Trust each regarding their share in the property. Can you advise please.

Thank you

PJ

Hi Paul - we can't tell you what's necessary or needed here as it's legal advice you need.
We register the legal ownership and trusts can often be set up through specific deeds or wills but they relate to the beneficial ownership so can, but not always, be reflected on the land register
It reads as if you have already started your own research on the topic so worth having a look at our PG 24 for guidance - Practice guide 24: private trusts of land - GOV.UK
But please do seek legal advice as to how the trust has been created; what protection you all have; and how, if at all, you can/should or need to reflect it's existence and protect any beneficial interests on the land register
