Co-owners, the Transfer, the Intent and Stack

Date:21 DEC 2005

Alex Ralton, Barrister, Albion Chambers, Bristol. The article flushes out the circumstances in which a binding trust has been created, even though the co-owners might not have really appreciated that that was what they were doing when a tick-box form was populated. It then considers the circumstances in which a disgruntled co-owner who, on paper, has given away property, can seek to challenge the effect of the paperwork. See January [2006] Fam Law 26 for the full article.
