Deed of Revocation of Settlement
The Deed of Revocation of Settlement is a blank form for a settlor and settlee to cancel a previously registered settlement deed that was not brought into effect due to unavoidable circumstances. The form is dated for an unspecified day and month in two thousand and seventeen, but it does not identify an issuing department, authority or government order number.
What the document does
The Deed of Revocation of Settlement records the joint decision of a settlor and settlee to revoke and cancel an earlier settlement deed. The stated reason is that unavoidable circumstances prevented the settlement deed from being brought into effect.
The cancellation takes effect immediately under the wording of the form. It states that the earlier settlement deed will have no force after revocation.
Who is covered
The Deed of Revocation of Settlement identifies two parties:
- The settlor, who executed the original settlement deed.
- The settlee, in whose favour the settlement was made.
The form states that references to the settlor and settlee also include their heirs, legal representatives, executors, administrators and assigns. Both the settlor and settlee are expected to sign the revocation deed.
