Resulting Trust

Resulting trust claims can also be made in family law but you really should consult a lawyer. This area of law is complicated, fact specific, and there is some confusion as to the present state of the law.

Guy Hunter is very happy to advance trust claims on behalf of clients and to advise on whether you have a valid trust claim (or a proper defence to a claim brought against you.)   

When one spouse gives all or half of a house to the other spouse for nil consideration (ie: no money) there is a presumption of resulting trust.  

Generally, resulting trust claims can be complicated and require an inquiry into the intent of the transferor at the time of the transaction.

You are strongly advised to consult a lawyer, if you believe you might have a claim under the law of resulting or constructive trust. Hundreds of thousands of dollar may be at stake.
