Trusts of land (TOLATA) disputes

Disputes under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA) often arise when two or more people jointly own property and disagree about its use, management, or division. This can include cohabiting couples, friends, siblings, or business partners who have contributed to the property.

Common issues in TOLATA disputes include:

  • Who can live in the property and for how long
  • Whether the property should be sold
  • How the proceeds of a sale should be shared
  • Disagreements over unequal financial contributions
