What Is a Property Protection Trust?

A Property Protection Trust (PPT), sometimes referred to as a Life Interest Trust, is written into your will. It enables you to ring-fence your share of your property, ensuring it is passed to your chosen beneficiaries, rather than being used for care costs or redirected through remarriage.

London Will Writing offers Property Protection Trusts UK families can trust to secure their estate for years to come.

How It Works

Step 1: Sever the Joint Tenancy

Couples must first convert their home ownership from joint tenants to tenants in common, meaning each partner owns 50% of the property.

Step 2: Trust Created in the Will

The will includes a clause to place the deceased’s share of the property into a trust upon death.

Step 3: Life Interest Granted to the Survivor

The surviving partner continues to live in the property for life but does not gain ownership of the deceased’s share.

Step 4: Property Passed to Beneficiaries

After the second death or earlier if the survivor moves, the deceased’s share of the home passes to the designated beneficiaries, typically children.
