This is a concise and easy to use guide for the general practitioner on the often-overlooked subject of making a declaration of trust at the end of a main transaction to protect a client's interests. With the increase in joint mortgages and cohabiting couples this is a topic of growing importance. Every aspect of the book has been designed for ease of use. Each chapter deals with a different scenario where a declaration of trust can be used. Every one begins with succinct commentary explaining law, procedure and points to watch out for - and concludes with a ready-to-use collection of all the relevant precedent material.
