• Declaration Of Trust Query

    By Guest on 24th May 2019

    Hi, I would like some advice regarding a Declaration of Trust document between the co-freeholders of a period conversion. I completed on the purchase of a flat in a 3-flat conversion of an Edwardian house last September. At the time of conveyancing process my solicitor advised that to update the exiting Declaration of Trust between the co-freeholders with my name would be a different service which I nonetheless instructed him to undertake. Fast forward 8 months this Declaration of Trust, which is a just two-page document de facto outlining how the co-freeholders share the costs with regards to the maintenance of the common parts and the structure of the house, has not been updated with my name and the solicitor appears to be “to busy” to deal with the matter. I’m quite puzzled with his behaviour and need an advice please on how important is this document, what could be the reasons he is reluctant to finalise this matter and whether I can ask another solicitors’ firm to help with that? Any guidance would be appreciated as I have raising concerns about the situation and potential complications for me if I am to resell the property in future. Thank you

    You can ask another firm to act on the deed of trust if you wish. You can freely choose your legal representative.

    I do not know what his reasons could be - you would need to ask him.
