Understanding TOLATA
The Trust of Land and Trustee Act 1996 (TOLATA) is a piece of UK legislation that deals with disputes related to trusts involving land. It provides a legal framework for individuals seeking to resolve disputes over property rights when a property is subject to a trust. Such disputes often occur within families, especially when a property held in a trust is occupied by a family member who was initially given permission to stay but has since overstayed their welcome.
