ToLATA Claims, Cohabitation Disputes & Schedule 1 Applications.
ToLATA Claims
If you are separating without a declaration of trust and/or cohabitation agreement, you may be left wondering how you will decide upon the division of assets. The Trust of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (ToLATA) is used by the courts to decide what share of a property that each person owns. The court can also enforce the property’s sale to release the shares.
It’s vital to consult legal advice for this process. Please get in touch today.
Cohabitation Disputes
When sharing a property, whether with a partner, friend, or family member, disputes can unfortunately arise. This most commonly occurs when cohabiting partners decide to separate, and one person wishes to sell the property while the other doesn’t.
These disputes can be by ensuring that you set clear expectations from the outset. This can help each person know where they stand regarding their entitlements when the property is sold, and what happens if one person wants to sell while the other doesn’t
If you are experiencing a dispute of this nature, our cohabitation solicitors are here to help with cohabitation agreements and more. Please get in touch to discuss how we can assist you today.
Schedule 1 Applications
