Where the grantor of an assignation, discharge or deed of restriction of a standard security, or the creditor consenting to a variation of a standard security, although not the original creditor, has a registered or recorded title, no specification of the title of the grantor or creditor is required. Note 2.—In an assignation, discharge or deed of restriction, (1) a standard security in respect of an uncertain amount may be described by specifying shortly the nature of the debt or obligation (e.g., all sums due or to become due) for which the security was granted, adding in the case of an assignation,to the extent of £ being the amount now due thereunderand (2) a standard security in respect of a personal obligation constituted in an instrument or instruments other than the standard security itself may be described by specifying shortly the nature of the debt or obligation and referring to the other instrument or instruments by which it is constituted in such manner as will be sufficient identification thereof. Note 3.—If the original title to a standard security has been completed otherwise than by registration of the security in the Land Register of Scotland or recording the security in the Register of Sasines, insert immediately after the word ““registered (or recorded)” the words along with notice of title thereon (adding, if such notice is not in favour of the original creditor, the name of the person in whose favour it is drawn). Note 4.—If part of the security subjects has already been disburdened, there may be inserted in an assignation, after the specification of the standard security assigned, a reference to the previous partial discharge or deed of restriction. Note 5.—The variation docket Form E of this Schedule shall be used only when the personal obligation or other matter to which the variation relates was contained in the standard security, or in a variation thereof which has been duly registered or recorded. Variations in a personal obligation or other matter constituted in an instrument or instruments which have not been so registered or recorded may be altered by an instrument in appropriate terms which shall not be required to be registered in the Land Register of Scotland or recorded in the Register of Sasines. Note 6.—Where the grantor of a variation docket does not have a recorded title to the security subjects and the deed is to be recorded in the Register of Sasines, insert at the end of the variation and immediately before the consent by the creditor a clause of deduction of title as follows:the security subjects to which the said standard security relates being last vested in (give the name of the person in whom the security subjects were last vested) whose title thereto was recorded in the said Register of Sasines on .................. and from whom I acquired right by (here specify the writ or writs by which such right was so acquired). +Note 7— In the case of a traditional document, subscription of it by the granter, or in the case of form E the granter and the consenter to the variation, will be sufficient for the document to be formally valid, but witnessing of it may be necessary or desirable for other purposes (see the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995, which also makes provision as regards the authentication of an electronic document).
