HM Land Registry (HMLR) has updated practice guide 8, which deals with advice on the execution of deeds to be submitted to HMLR. In the practice guide, sections 2.1.1, 9 and 12 have been amended ‘to clarify elements of HMLR’s new practice relating to deeds that have ‘Mercury signatures’, particularly in relation to powers of attorney and forms DS1/DS3’.
