Voluntary Registration - searching the Sasine Register

Instructions for legal examination of voluntary registrations have been updated as follows:

There is no ROI question on the VR form. If the applicant certifies on VR form that a search has been done to identify heritable securities to the date of the ROI, the registration officer must carry out a full 40 year search of the Register of Sasines to identify any apparently extant heritable securities and compare any apparently outstanding securities with any discharge(s) submitted for registration subsequent to the voluntary registration application. If the VR application is submitted with a dealing or other application, the registration officer should disregard/ not consider the ROI question in the dealing or other application form when deciding to search the sasine register for standard securities.

The new instruction can be seen on the Voluntary Registrations page, under the heading Legal Examination Process.
