Buying a house can be a stressful time but it’s important that you consider all of the options available for how the property will be held. This is particularly important if you are buying a property with someone else and may have made different levels of financial contribution towards the purchase.

There are also times when someone owns a property and whilst you are not the legal owner, you have made some significant financial contribution towards the property and you want this to be protected.

We can advise you on whether or not you should consider entering into a declaration of trust relating to a property, based on your individual circumstances, as well as prepare the document for you.

If you decide that you want to have a declaration of trust to detail what share of the property each person with an interest has, we can offer a fixed fee service which includes an initial appointment to take detailed instructions and provide legal advice and drafting the declaration of trust.
