Declaration of Trust

A Declaration of Trust is an agreement between property owners confirming:

  • the basis on which they own the property
  • their respective shareholding in the property
  • when and how the property is to be sold 
  • right to buy each other’s share
  • general financial arrangements including maintenance of the property
  • future investment in the property

Often it is entered into by individuals who are unmarried and decide to purchase a property but contribute disproportionate shares towards the purchase price. 

At Hart Brown our specialist lawyers will help you cut through the jargon and make the document user-friendly and easily understood.  Whereas the concept of entering into such a document can be daunting doing so can save much heartache and dispute over the division of finances at a later stage.
