SCHEDULEU.K. Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on Their Recognition

Chapter IIIU.K. —Recognition

Article 11U.K.

A trust created in accordance with the law specified by the preceding Chapter shall be recognised as a trust.

Such recognition shall imply, as a minimum, that the trust property constitutes a separate fund, that the trustee may sue and be sued in his capacity as trustee, and that he may appear or act in this capacity before a notary or any person acting in an official capacity.

In so far as the law applicable to the trust requires or provides, such recognition shall imply in particular—

(a)that personal creditors of the trustee shall have no recourse against the trust assets;

(b)that the trust assets shall not form part of the trustee’s estate upon his insolvency or bankruptcy;

(c)that the trust assets shall not form part of the matrimonial property of the trustee or his spouse nor part of the trustee’s estate upon his death;

(d)that the trust assets may be recovered when the trustee, in breach of trust, has mingled trust assets with his own property or has alienated trust assets. However, the rights and obligations of any third party holder of the assets shall remain subject to the law determined by the choice of law rules of the forum.

Article 12U.K.

Where the trustee desires to register assets, movable or immovable, or documents of title to them, he shall be entitled, in so far as this is not prohibited by or inconsistent with the law of the State where registration is sought, to do so in his capacity as trustee or in such other way that the existence of the trust is disclosed.

Article 14U.K.

The Convention shall not prevent the application of rules of law more favourable to the recognition of trusts.
