We often advise on matters with issues extending to such as proprietary estoppel, misrepresentation and undue influence.

Members of the team regularly assist on contentious and non-contentious issues, concerning both domestic and commercial property arrangements. Typical work includes:

• Advising on the validity and construction of trusts, sham arrangements and applications to set aside
• Applications relating to disclosure, costs protection and removal of trustees
• Advising and representation of clients in relation to both Part 7 and Part 8 claims
• Negotiation of settlements, including in mediation
• Actions against trustees for breaches of trust and actions relating to accounting and tracing.

Chambers’ wide-ranging experience across the spheres of property, family, and probate law gives our teams access to a wide knowledge base to provide specialists to our clients across multiple disciplines to assist on matters where issues crossover law, for example; disputes arising out of breakdown of cohabiting relationships, disputes between family members, or inheritance disputes.
