Declaration of Trust to show beneficial interest in property

As part of our mission to provide affordable options for those who need a declaration of trust document, our qualified barristers have prepared this downloadable declaration of trust template — an option for those who do not want to instruct a barrister to draft one from scratch.

A Declaration of Trust, also known as a Deed of Trust, is essential in the UK for legally establishing the ownership shares and interests in a property held by multiple parties. To meet UK legal requirements, the document should clearly outline the identities of the trustees and beneficiaries, the property in question, and the specific ownership shares each party holds, along with their responsibilities and rights, including financial contributions and the division of proceeds upon sale. It must be in writing and signed by all parties, witnessed and dated, to be legally binding.
