This work covers the use of equity to resolve property and trust issues, when plain legal rights alone do not deliver a fair result. It includes remedies and fiduciary matters arising from trusts, settlements, mortgages, and the management of assets where duties and loyalties are involved. A solicitor in this area drafts or reviews trust deeds and settlement documents, advises on duties of trustees and executors, negotiates with lenders or beneficiaries, and applies for or defends injunctions, specific performance, and other equitable relief. The work can shape how ownership and control are exercised and contested.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor identifies the equitable remedies appropriate to the client’s position, drafts and advances trusts or settlements, and handles applications for injunctions or specific performance. They explain the consequences of breaches of trust, adjust or rectify documents, and coordinate with lenders, beneficiaries, and other interested parties to protect the client’s interests. The role centres on implementing fair outcomes within the framework of equity, including dealings with courts and registries where outcomes hinge on discretionary powers and fiduciary duties.
