A Declaration of Trust itself is not filed with the Land Registry so the terms remain confidential but there may be a notation as regards the existence of a Deed of Trust. This is a precaution to prevent the property from being sold or transferred without the Deed being reviewed.

Presumably your solicitor was named as trustee and it is his position as trustee which has been recorded with Land Registry.

This is because he/she registered the property on the land registry.

I would be on the phone to him ASAP.
Irrespective of his explanation I would go to another solicitor.
Are you aware of the amount of people who have had their property?
