A quick solicitors questions..

How much would it cost (or should it cost) for a Solicitor to draw up a Declaration of Trust between myself and my partner.

And am i rite in thinking this would be used in a situation where one party would supply the whole deposit and solicitors fees, but there are two people on the mortgage.

Thanks in advance for any help!

  • £300 - £600 depending upon complexity/issues would be a reasonable guideline (I have a horrible feeling that I recently advised someone on here otherwise, but I have just looked up a couple of recent cases to confirm this figure) .

    The exact purpose for which it should be used - but you need to look at wills, insurance and how best to use Tenants in Common rather than Joint Tenants.
