Can a Lasting Power of Attorney be abused?
Frances Macdonald, Senior Associate at Tees, outlines key steps you can take—supported by your solicitor—to reduce the risk of abuse
If you own a share of a house, a declaration of trust says how much you’ll get when it’s sold – we’ll help you draw up a document that protects everybody.
A declaration of trust gives you the protection and certainty you need when a property is being sold, and is often particuarly useful when a relationship ends. They are also often used when a parent provides part of the capital for an adult child to purchase a property.
Like many legal documents, declarations of trust can be complicated, depending on your individual circumstances. There many different variables and other factors that might have to be covered by the document. Our experienced team know how declarations of trust work inside out and will guide you through every step. We cover every aspect of the process, so you can be confident the final document works for everybody involved and reflects a fair division of the property.
Our in-house independent financial advisers are also on-hand to give you joined-up advice on the financials.

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
