Introduction

Trust claims represent a pivotal area of law, particularly within the domain of relationship property. These claims are not governed by a single piece of legislation, but rather require reference to multiple legal instruments, including the Property (Relationships) Act 1976, the Family Proceedings Act 1980, the Trusts Act 2019, as well as the principles of common law and equity.
Addressing trust claims upon separation requires utilising these legislative provisions, coupled with developments in case law and equitable principles, to substantiate any claims made against a trust.
