Declaration Of Bare Trust

"I need a Declaration of Bare Trust for a residential property in Auckland that I'm purchasing as trustee for my sister, with the agreement to be effective from March 15, 2025, and including specific provisions for future transfer of the property title."

Document background
A Declaration of Bare Trust is a crucial document in New Zealand trust law that establishes a simple form of trust relationship where the trustee holds legal title to property solely as a nominee for the beneficiary. This document type is commonly used in situations where separation of legal and beneficial ownership is required, such as in property transactions, investment structures, or family arrangements. The declaration must comply with the New Zealand Trusts Act 2019 and related legislation, clearly identifying the parties, trust property, and the passive nature of the trustee's role. The document typically includes details of the trust property, parties' information, and specific instructions for dealing with the trust assets. A Declaration of Bare Trust is particularly useful in scenarios where confidentiality is desired or where regulatory requirements necessitate a nominee holding arrangement.
