These are of particular importance where a client's interests may be affected by the bankruptcy of another party or by a family split: for example, when a relative has contributed to the purchase of a council house, or of a house with a 'granny flat'.

The book examines declarations of trust in: * Company shareholdings * Joint tenancies * Tenancies in common * Insurance policies * Settlements * Wills * Pension death benefits
