Definitions

66F Definitions

In this Division--

(1)
"Co-ownership" means ownership whether at law or in equity in possession by two or more persons as joint tenants or as tenants in common; and
"co-owner" has a corresponding meaning and includes an incumbrancer of the interest of a joint tenant or tenant in common.
(2)
(a) Property held upon the "statutory trust for sale" shall be held upon trust to sell the same and to stand possessed of the net proceeds of sale, after payment of costs and expenses, and of the net income until sale after payment of costs, expenses, and outgoings, and in the case of land of rates, taxes, costs of insurance, repairs properly payable out of income, and other outgoings upon such trusts, and subject to such powers and provisions as may be requisite for giving effect to the rights of the co-owners,
(b) where--
(i) an undivided share is subject to a settlement, and
(ii) the settlement remains subsisting in respect of other property, and
(iii) the trustees thereof are not the same persons as the trustees for sale,
then the statutory trust for sale includes a trust for the trustees for sale to pay the proper proportion of the net proceeds of sale or other capital money attributable to the share to the trustees of the settlement to be held for and to go to the same persons successively in the same manner and for and on the same estates, interests, and trusts as the undivided share would if not disposed of have been held and have gone under the settlement.
(3) Property held upon the "statutory trust for partition" shall be held upon trust--
(a) with the consent of the incumbrancer of the entirety (if any) to partition the property and to provide (by way of mortgage or otherwise) for the payment of any equality money, and
(b) upon such partition being made to give effect thereto by assuring the property so partitioned in severalty (subject or not to any mortgage created for raising equality money) to the persons entitled under the partition, but a purchaser shall not be concerned to see or inquire whether any such consent as aforesaid has been given.
