Course description

Most declarations of trust are simple statements set out in a transfer or lease. Nevertheless, much case law in recent years has arisen from non-standard, complex, suspect or unclear trust deeds.


It is imperative that those instructed in the preparation of a non-standard or bespoke trust declaration ensure that they get both their advice and the drafting right first time. This is especially the case because a significant proportion of joint purchasers will become embroiled in a dispute over resale, or over the shares in the equity, of the property.


In light of the above risks, this virtual classroom seminar is designed to look at ways that you can adequately protect yourself and your client when the trust declaration is not straightforward.
