Secure your legacy. Protect your property. Plan with confidence.
A Property Trust allows you to pass on your home exactly as you intend — while protecting your loved ones from potential complications in the future.
What is a Property Trust?
A Property Trust is a legal arrangement that enables you to safeguard your share of the family home and control who benefits from it when you pass away. It ensures your interest in the property is preserved for your chosen beneficiaries, while allowing your partner or spouse to continue living there.
This type of Trust is commonly used to:
- Protect your share of the home
- Ensure your children or loved ones inherit
- Support family members while maintaining control
- Prevent future disputes or uncertainty
Why Set Up a Property Trust?
- Without a Property Trust in place, your share of the home could be:
- Passed outside of your family
- Claimed by unintended beneficiaries
- Subject to delays or legal disputes
A Property Trust ensures your wishes are clear, protected, and legally binding. It gives you the power to provide long-term security for your loved ones — while still supporting your spouse or partner.
Key Benefits of a Property Trust
- Protect your children’s inheritance – Ensure your share of the home passes to your chosen beneficiaries
- Support your spouse or partner – They can continue living in the home for life
- Avoid disputes – Clear instructions reduce legal risk and family conflict
- Control your legacy – Decide how and when your property is passed on
- Tailored to your needs – Every Trust is built around your personal goals
When to Set Up a Property Trust
A Property Trust may be right for you if:
- You jointly own a property and want your share to go to specific beneficiaries
- You have children from a previous relationship
- You want to ring-fence your share of the home while still supporting your partner
- You are concerned about how your estate will be managed after you pass away
- You want to ensure clarity and protection for your loved ones

FAQs
What is a Property Trust?
A Property Trust is a legal document that allows you to protect your share of a property and ensure it goes to your chosen beneficiaries when you pass away, while allowing your partner to continue living in the home.
Can I still live in my home if it’s in a Property Trust?
Yes. If you are the surviving partner, you can usually continue living in the property for life, as stated in the terms of the Trust.
Is a Property Trust the same as a Will?
No. A Property Trust works alongside your Will but offers additional protection for how your share of the home is handled after death. It can prevent unintended inheritance or future disputes.
Do I need to own my property outright to set up a Property Trust?
No. You can place your share of a jointly owned property into a Trust. We can also advise you on severing the tenancy if required.
How is a Property Trust set up?
We guide you through every step, from free consultation, to drafting the Trust, to final signing and storage. Our legal team ensures your Trust is valid and properly implemented.
Can I change my Property Trust later?
In some cases, yes. We can review your documents if your circumstances change, and advise on your options for updating or replacing the Trust.
