Adding a Memorandum to a grant of probate/LoA

Hi all

A question has been asked in our office which has me stumped and I cannot find the answer. Is it still actually necessary to incorporate a memorandum on a grant confirming the assent of a property (I have no idea how this would work with the new style grants). Secondary to this, if not, when (and how) did the requirement disappear.

I remember watching secretaries getting the old typewriter out to do it when I first started training, but I can honestly say I have not heard of this being done for many years.

My guess is that this became unnecessary with the introduction of Land Registration Act 2002 as it would only be of any significant use in unregistered land.

Any ideas?
