Your questions answered

Matthew Hills, Associate Solicitor in the Litigation Department
  • What is a co-ownership dispute?
    A dispute between unmarried couples who own a home over their share in the property and if it should be sold. If the dispute is unresolved then a claim may be made under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA). A TOLATA claim resolves property disputes between unmarried couples, clarifying ownership and financial interests.
  • When should I consider a TOLATA claim?
    You should consider a TOLATA claim when you can not agree with your ex-partner what your shares in the property and how the property should be dealt with i.e. should it be sold.
  • What are the benefits of seeking legal advice for TOLATA claims?
    Legal advice ensures clarity, fair settlements, protection of investments, efficiency, expertise, and peace of mind during disputes.
  • How long does the TOLATA claim process usually take?
    Timelines vary, but our expert team aims for efficient resolutions, minimising delays.
  • Can HK Law handle complex TOLATA cases?
    Yes, our specialists excel in managing complex TOLATA cases with a proven track record of success.
  • What sets HK Law apart in handling TOLATA claims?
    Our client-centric approach, accredited professionals, transparent communication, and end-to-end support make us the top choice for your case.
  • Will I have to go to court for a TOLATA claim?
    Not necessarily. We explore mediation and negotiation options, but if court is needed, we guide you through the process.
