FAMILY SUPPORT
When it comes to family, the goal is always the same: to protect the people you love and make their lives a little easier for them. Whether you’re helping your children buy their first home, supporting family with property or financial gifts, or working through relationship changes, James can help you put the right legal protections in place.
HOW JAMES CAN HELP
Helping children into property
Many families choose to support children with their first home purchase. This support can be structured through loans, gifts, or shared ownership arrangements to ensure protection for all parties involved.
Family loans and gifting advice
Clear documentation is prepared to outline the nature of the support, helping prevent misunderstandings and future disputes.
Protecting family contributions
When funds are provided to assist with a property purchase—especially where a child is buying with a partner—measures can be put in place to protect the family’s contribution.
Relationship property protection
Guidance is provided on Contracting Out Agreements (Section 21 Agreements) to safeguard family gifts or contributions in the event of a relationship breakdown.
Family trust and asset planning
Where a family trust is part of the broader asset strategy, reviews and updates can be undertaken to ensure the trust continues to align with the family’s goals and legal requirements.
