Our legal experts will draw up a declaration of trust to protect your share of a property when it is sold.

Declaration of trust - clear legal protection for your property assets

What is a declaration of trust for property?

If you own a share in a house, a declaration of trust is a document that says how much you’ll get when it’s sold. This is often used when a relationship comes to an end and both parties have an interest in a property, or when a parent provides some of the capital for an adult child to buy a property.

How we can help you

There are many variables in a declaration of trust, so it’s important to have experienced legal advice when drawing up the document. The document should work for everyone involved and reflect a fair division of the property. Our experienced team can guide you through every step, protecting you from future disputes.
