Property in Trust?
2 Answers
How can I find out if a property has been placed in Trust for the benefit of children?
I cannot find any Trust documentation, there is no mention of a Trust/Trustees in the property's deeds, nor any mention via the online Land Registry site.
Is there a central government repository somewhere?

It's formally documenting it, getting that right and running the trust that are more complicated. It looks like it's that that hasn't been done.
If the trust was specified in a will, then that will is evidence of the existence of a trust. Not particularly safe evidence - it could be ignored with no one being much the wiser, at least until too late.
But no, there is no central registry.
