What is deemed a conveyance, not being a sale or mortgage
24.—(1) Every instrument and every decree or order of any court, by which any property on any occasion, except a sale or mortgage, is transferred to or vested in any person, is chargeable as a conveyance or transfer of property.
(2) To avoid doubt, every instrument filed in the land registry by a personal representative declaring himself or herself to be absolute owner of any land is chargeable as a conveyance or transfer of property.
