ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1955 - SECT 35

Special provisions as to unregistered land.

35.(1) An assent to the vesting of any estate or interest in unregistered land
of a testator or intestate in favour of the person entitled thereto shall

(a)be in writing;

(b)be signed by the personal representatives;

(c)be deemed, for the purposes of the Registration of Deeds Acts, to be a
conveyance of that estate or interest from the personal representatives to the
person entitled;

(d)operate, subject to the provisions of the Registration of Deeds Acts with
respect to priorities, to vest that estate or interest in the person entitled
subject to such charges and encumbrances, if any, as may be specified in the
assent and as may otherwise affect that estate or interest; and

(e)subject to the said provisions, be deemed (unless a contrary intention
appears therein) for all purposes necessary to establish the title of the
person entitled to intervening rents and profits, to relate back to the date
of the death of the deceased person so, however, that nothing in this
paragraph shall operate to enable any person to establish a title inconsistent
with the will of the deceased person.

(2) Any person in whose favour an assent or conveyance of any unregistered
land is made by personal representatives may at his own expense require the
personal representatives to register that assent or conveyance in the Registry
of Deeds pursuant to the Registration of Deeds Acts.

(3) An assent or conveyance of unregistered land by a personal representative
shall, in favour of a purchaser, be taken as sufficient evidence that the
person in whose favour the assent or conveyance is given or made is the person
who was entitled to have the estate or interest to which the assent relates
vested in him but shall not otherwise prejudicially affect the claim of any
person originally entitled to that estate or interest or to any charge or
encumbrance thereon.
