Hi,
Thank you for your question.
A Declaration of Trust is a legally binding document that creates a trust. Most types of trust giving an interest in property to somebody who is not the legal owner now need to be registered with HMRC via the Trust Registration Service.
You can find guidance on the registration requirements and how to register here:
Register a trust as a trustee
There is also more information about what types of trust need to be registered at
Trust Registration Service Manual - Types of trust that need to be registered: contents: excluded express trusts: contents: property ownership - HMRC internal manual - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
Thank you.
