Tips

Avoid common problems with executing deeds by checking:

• each party鈥檚 signature has been witnessed, and that the witness details have been included
• you are using the correct form of execution for the person or organisation involved

Avoid the two main types of errors with powers of attorney by enclosing:

• a copy of a power 鈥� this tends to be for corporate attorneys. Don鈥檛 forget that instead of enclosing a copy of a power, you can enclose a certificate in Form 1 in Schedule 3 to the Land Registration Rules 2003
• confirmation of identity for an attorney, as well as the donor of the power when this is required. This will always be required except where they have executed a discharge.
  See section 6.1 of practice guide 67: evidence of identity
