In many families, arrangements are reached as to how property is to be owned. For example, the legal title to a property may be registered in the name of one family member, while it is understood that another person is the beneficial owner. In such circumstances, the legal owner is regarded as holding the property on trust for the beneficial owner.
If you are involved in a dispute with another individual concerning the legal or beneficial ownership of property, we can provide advice and assistance.
If you would like to discuss a possible claim then please do not hesitate to contact us or request a callback.
If your dispute relates to property interests with a former partner in jointly owned property, we recommend contacting our Family Law team for specialist advice.
