A Declaration of Trust is a legally binding contract between joint property owners and/or anyone else who has a financial or beneficial interest in the property.
Typically, an agreement is reached at the time of property purchase.
The purpose of a Declaration of Trust is to eliminate any uncertainty regarding what will happen to each person's money if the property is sold or if one person wishes to buy out the other. Establishing the financial terms at the outset will provide clarity and reduce future disagreements.
Who Should Receive a Declaration of Trust?
If you are co-buying a property with another person and have contributed different amounts to the purchase, you must split the difference.
If someone else is helping you purchase a property and you want to protect their funds, you should use a trust. A Declaration of Trust can stipulate when, how much, and under what conditions money is to be returned. The deed can provide the investor with assurance.

Joint Tenants or Common Tenants?
There are two options for purchasing a property jointly:When two or more individuals own a property jointly, they are considered joint tenants. To illustrate, 100% together. The property is left to the surviving spouse upon death.
Tenants in common occur when the property's owners hold varying proportions of the property. For instance, 50% of each of the dead person's property goes to the people named in his or her will or according to the laws of intestate succession.
When purchasing a property with another person, it is possible that the costs of the purchase, mortgage, stamp duty, and other associated fees will not be equal. One of you may be contributing more to the down payment, while the other may be contributing more to the mortgage payments. Whether you are buying a property as Tenants in Common or Joint Tenants, a Declaration of Trust lets you say how much money each person is putting in and how much money each person should get when the property is sold or when one person buys out the other.
