Deeds are written agreements but differ from contracts in that the limitation period is 12 years and consideration is not required. There are very few categories of transactions that require execution by deed but they are transfers of land, leases, mortgages and charges, sales by mortgagees, appointments of trustees, powers of attorney and gifts.

How are charities handled under the PSC regime? The two main categories of entity that should be recorded on a PSC register are registrable individuals with 'significant control' (as defined in accordance with the five conditions set out in Schedule 1A, Part 1 to the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006)), and any other registrable 'relevant legal entities' (RLEs) that have significant control聽and聽are 'subject to their own disclosure requirements'. Charities typically establish themselves as either trusts, unincorporated associations, charitable incorporated organisations (CIOs) or companies limited by guarantee. Some of these structures will therefore have to maintain their own PSC register. In addition, if they are themselves legal entities, they are likely to be registrable RLEs which may appear in the PSC register of a particular company or LLP which they happen to have significant control or influence over. Others may not be registrable RLEs but any investigating company or LLP must then trace through these entities until it finds an indirect PSC or RLE (or otherwise determine...
I've just noticed that an executed document has the wrong date on it. What should I do? The first thing you need to do is insert the correct date in the document which has been incorrectly dated. It is important that the date on the document accurately reflects the date on which the parties to it intended to be bound by its terms. Normally, this is the date when the parties: 鈥 signed the document (if it is a simple agreement as opposed to a deed), or 鈥 delivered the document (if it is a deed) In the absence of any provision to the contrary in the document, it will be presumed that the date on a document is the date the document took effect. If the date is wrong, there could be confusion about when the document took effect. How should a document be dated? It depends whether the document in question is a simple agreement or a deed. In the case of a simple agreement, the document should...
