Declarations of Trust

In short — We draft comprehensive, legally binding declarations of trust that clarify co-owners' shares and protect your financial interests.

If you co-own a property with someone else — whether or not you appear on the legal title — a Declaration of Trust can be essential for clarifying each co-owner’s share and protecting your legal rights and financial interests. Unlike some of our competitors, our declarations of trust are comprehensive and robust. This is particularly important where one of the co-owners may be moving into residential care.

We can help you with:

• Drafting a clear, legally binding deed setting out each party’s rights and obligations
• Clarifying the individual shares of co-owners, whether or not they are on the legal title
• Recording relevant history — such as contributions to the purchase, deposit, renovations or upkeep — to show how interests accrued
• Protecting your financial interests, including where a co-owner may be moving into residential care
