@MAS Flight MH3 (LHR-KUL) today (landed at KUL Sat 13th Jun at 06:37). Severe, deafening aerodynamic pressure leak/screaming noise at Door L2 (Seat 26C) during high-speed cruise with tailwinds. Passengers had to be moved due to the extreme decibels. Please alert maintenance to inspect/replace the L2 door seals. Or carry out other urgent maintenance work.
@Vivek4real_ 1. China will not invade Taiwan
2. China will use that "invasion" money to fund Chip tech development
3. Soon, China will not worry about Chip Tech
4. This is so easy to predict
Parties' nomenclature for an English-law Deed of Family Arrangement: Family-role style (most common):
"the Father" / "the Mother" - jointly "the Parents"
Each child by name, jointly "the Children"
Neutral style (where there's no clear hierarchy):
"the First Party", "the Second Party", etc.
Why not Assignor / Assignee:
Assignor/Assignee belong to a Deed of Assignment, which transfers a chose in action or an equitable interest (a debt, contractual rights, a beneficial interest under a trust, IP rights). It does not transfer the legal estate in land.
Under English law, the legal estate in registered land moves only by a Form TR1 registered at HM Land Registry, on which the parties are styled Transferor and Transferee, never Assignor/Assignee.
The Deed of Family Arrangement sits behind the TR1 as the underlying contractual/equitable framework explaining why the allocation is happening; it doesn't itself shift legal title.
Calling the parties Assignor/Assignee on a Deed of Family Arrangement would therefore be doctrinally wrong: it mislabels the instrument as one that operates on a chose in action when, in fact, it operates on family entitlements to land.
The only time Assignor/Assignee would be correct in your scenario is if what's actually being moved is a beneficial interest under a trust of the family land - not the legal estate itself.
Deed of Family Arrangement.
That's the textbook English-law instrument for exactly your scenario - allocation of land among family members where there is no monetary consideration, but it isn't a unilateral gift either. It has a distinct sui generis status in English equity going back over 150 years.
*Why it fits your problem:*
The Privy Council in Mantappa Nadgowda v Baswuntrao Nadgowda (on appeal from Bombay, [1872] UKPC 3 / 1871 EngR 2) characterised a deed where one brother "accepts an allotment of specific land and a House" from the family estate as being "in the nature of a family arrangement" and held it binding precisely because, while it would probably be enforceable in any case, family arrangements are treated more favourably than transactions between strangers.
The classic definition (cited again by the Singapore High Court in Rajabali Jumabhoy v Ameerali R Jumabhoy [1997] 2 SLR(R) 296 (486?), lifted from Halsbury's Laws of England Vol 17, 3rd Ed, pp 215โ216):
> An agreement between members of the same family, intended generally and reasonably for the benefit of the family, either by compromising doubtful or disputed rights, or by preserving the family property or the peace and security of the family by avoiding litigation or by saving its honour.
*The consideration problem solved:*
This is precisely why the instrument exists. English equity recognises that family arrangements stand apart: the consideration is the *mutual compromise and allocation among family members, coupled with preservation of the family property and family peace. Halsbury (cited in the same line of authority) makes the point bluntly โ beneficiaries take "as gifts pure and simpleโฆ *or as a conveyance for consideration when consideration is present" โ i.e. the deed accommodates both species without forcing you to mislabel it.
*Quick variants โ pick what actually matches your facts:*
- *Deed of Family Arrangement* โ pure family allocation (your default).
- *Deed of Family Arrangement and Settlement* โ if it also resolves a dispute or potential dispute.
- *Deed of Partition* โ if it's dividing land already co-owned.
- *Deed of Variation* (a.k.a. Deed of Family Arrangement) โ specifically if varying entitlements under a will or intestacy within two years post-death
- *Deed of Assent* โ if a PR is vesting estate land in a beneficiary
