Decision notes | [2019] UKFTT 505 (PC). The administrators of the estate of a Mr Farmer applied to enter restrictions on title to three properties in the name of the Respondent. It appears that Mr Farmer, a former solicitor with a criminal conviction, had acquired over 80 properties by the time of his death. The Respondent accepted in his Statement of Case that Mr Farmer had some beneficial interest in the properties so restrictions could have been entered without more. However, the Applicants asserted the Respondent was a bare trustee for the estate and sought a finding to that effect. Held on the facts that the Respondent was a bare trustee for the estate. The established facts were not such as to make it just to deny the Applicants relief under Patel v. Mirza. |
