Trust law?

Hi,
Does anybody know if properties with shared freehold fall under the realms of Trust Law. We share the freehold of our flat with the owner of the flat upstairs. He is in prison abroad but could sign a document to grant power of attorney to his wife so that she can manage the freehold and sign documents to transfer our share of freehold to a new owner.

I read in Section 25 of the Trustee Act 1925, a very simple form to be signed as a deed that would grant General Trustee POA but before proceeding with this want to be sure that the Trustee Act would apply to shared freehold.
I hope somebody can help, thanks.

If he can sign a power of attorney then that's all you need - not sure why trust law would come into it?0
