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.

Step Details of step Resources required to implement step Timing of step 1 Determine whether the company qualifies to operate a tax-advantaged share scheme Unapproved share options are often, but certainly not always, used when a company, or the employee, does not qualify to grant or be granted tax-advantaged share options (ie enterprise management incentives (EMI) schemes, company share option plans (CSOPs), save as you earn (SAYE) schemes, and share incentive plans (SIPs)). It is therefore important to first determine whether a tax-advantaged share scheme is possible and appropriate.

What is the position of a security holder if the company that created the security is dissolved? This Q&A focuses on the impact the dissolution of a security provider can have on the ability of a security holder to effectively enforce its security. It also considers the position of a receiver appointed by the security holder prior to the dissolution of the relevant company. Summary If a security provider is dissolved as a matter of English law it is normally still possible for the security holder to enforce the security it holds by exercising the mortgagee鈥檚 power of sale. There may be circumstances in any particular case that make an application to restore the dissolved company to the register desirable to protect the security holder鈥檚 position. Circumstances where this issue commonly arises The problems associated with a security provider being dissolved while security is in force occur most often in real estate finance and other asset finance transactions. Typically, these issues arise where a special purpose...
