(a)

a voluntary trust deed granted by or on behalf of a debtor whereby the debtor’s estate (other than such of that estate as would not, under any provision of the 2016 Act or of any other enactment, vest in the trustee were that estate sequestrated) is conveyed to the trustee for the benefit of the debtor’s creditors generally; and

the exclusion from the estate conveyed to the trustee of the whole or part of the debtor’s dwellinghouse, where a secured creditor holds a security over it; and
