The Declaration of Bare Trust is a fundamental legal instrument in England and Wales used to formally document situations where one party holds legal title to assets while another party maintains beneficial ownership. This arrangement is particularly useful in property transactions, family wealth planning, and situations requiring asset protection. The document clearly sets out the roles and responsibilities of trustees, identifies the trust property, and confirms the beneficial interests of the beneficiaries. Unlike discretionary or complex trusts, a Declaration of Bare Trust creates a simple and transparent structure where the trustee has no active management duties.
