A declaration of trust is a document that can be used to regulate ownership of a property which is owned by two or more property owners.
The declaration of trust is an agreement between the parties that can assist should there be a problem in the future. For example, it can document what each owner is responsible for paying and what share each has when the property is sold.
We can assist in the preparation of a document to regulate ownership of a property.
Our basic legal fee for dealing with a declaration of trust starts from £750 plus VAT where the property value is up to and including £300,000 and we are not being instructed on other matters.
We reserve the right to charge an hourly rate of £250 plus VAT per hour for dealing with declarations of trust subject to a minimum charge of £750 plus VAT and disbursements. We will advise you if an hourly rate is to apply once we have considered your requirements.
