AN ACT to render more simple and effectual the Titles by which Property is held
for Religious, Charitable, or Educational purposes in New Zealand.
(Assented to 6th August, 1856.)
WHEREAS it is expedient to render more simple and effectual
the Titles by which Property is held for Religious, Charitable,
or Educational purposes in New Zealand,
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New
Zealand as follows:
- Wherever any Freehold or Leasehold Property has been
acquired, or hereafter shall be acquired by, or on behalf of any
Religious Denomination Congregation, or Society, or Body, of
persons associated for Religious or Charitable purposes, or for the
promotion of Education. And wherever the Conveyance, Assign-
ment, or other Assurance of such Property has been or may be
taken to or in favour of a Trustee or Trustees to be from time to
time appointed, or of any Party or Parties named in such Convey-
ance, Assignment, or other Assurance; or subject to any Trust
for any such Denomination, Congregation, or Society, or Body of
Persons, or for the Individuals composing the same:
Such Conveyance, Assignment, or other Assurance, shall not
only vest the Freehold or Leasehold Property thereby conveyed,
assigned, or otherwise assured in the Party or Parties named
therein, but shall also effectually vest such Freehold or Leasehold
Property in their successors in office for the time being and the old
continuing Trustees, if any, jointly; or if there be no old con-
tinuing Trustees, then in such successors for the time being wholly
chosen and appointed in the manner provided or referred to in or
by such Conveyance, Assignment, or other Assurance, or in any
separate Deed or Instrument, declaring the Trust thereof, or if no
mode of appointment be therein set forth, prescribed, or referred to,
or if the power of appointment be lapsed, then in such manner as
shall be agreed upon by such Denomination, or by a Body con-
stituted to represent them, or by such Congregation, Society, or
Body of Persons, upon such and the like Trusts, and with and
under, and subject to the same Powers and Provisions as are con-
tained or referred to in such Conveyance, or Assignment, or other
Assurance, or in any such separate Deed or Instrument upon which
such Property is held. And that without any Transfer, Assign-
ment, Conveyance, or other Assurance whatsoever: Any thing in
such Conveyance, Assignment, or other Assurance, or in any
separate Deed or Instrument contained to the contrary notwith-
standing. Provided always, that in case of any appointment of a
new Trustee or Trustees or of the conveyance of the Legal Estate
in any such Property being made as heretofore was by Law re-
quired, the same shall be as valid and effectual to all intents and
purposes as if this Act had not been passed.
