The seminar will cover:

Where parties to a marriage or de facto relationship both make contributions to the acquisition or development of property, which is held in the name of one party only, the other party may be able to assert an interest in that property based on the (under-utilised) doctrine of the ‘common intention’ trust. This presentation discusses the circumstances in which a ‘common intention’ trust may arise, and the leading cases applicable to common intention trusts.
