    Did a lawyer set it up? It might be cheaper to set another one up through a lawyer if it was DIY

    I wasn't angling for a client and am unable to take on any new law matters at the moment.

    Ok, thanks. Will look for a good solicitor in this area. I see though it is best for me to discuss the option of family trust v leaving in my name . I hadn't fully considered all aspects.

    Who set up the family trust for you? Was it a solicitor?

    Why are you setting up a trust with an asset you are going to only hold for 10 years - where is the benefit in this trust scenario.

    if she has enough deposit for half of a IP then she has enough deposit to buy something cheaper on her own. You can buy something just under your name using the equity in your ppor. If you set up the trust incorrectly it will cost you a lot of money to set it up. Plus it costs money to run a trust.

    If you are adamant you want a trust then get legal advice and do it right.
