CONSTRUCTIVE TRUST IN CYPRUS: PROPERTY RIGHTS FOR UNMARRIED COHABITANTS WHEN EQUITY STEPS IN

When a couple lives together for years as a family, it is common for one partner to appear as the “owner” on paper while the other contributes in ways that are real but undocumented: paying expenses, supporting a business, funding improvements, or sacrificing employment opportunities.

The Effect of Inter Vivos Trusts on the Composition of the Estate Under Cypriot Succession Law

This article examines a recent District Court decision in which the Court was called upon to determine whether assets transferred via trust declarations during the lifetime of the deceased should be excluded from the deceased's estate for the purposes of inheritance under the Wills and Succession Law, Cap. 195. The case, successfully handled by our firm, reinforces the legal distinction between inter vivos dispositions and testamentary or intestate succession, and affirms the enforceability of properly constituted trusts under Cypriot law.
