A Declaration of Trust can be changed with the signed consent of all the original parties to the declaration. Because a Declaration is not witnessed or executed as a deed, this does leave Declarations more vulnerable to fraud than a Deed of Trust, which can still be changed with all parties' consent, with a Deed of Variation or Deed of Surrender and a new amended Deed. This is one of the reasons that we only offer Deeds for any client who requires a Declaration. Once a Deed of Trust is registered at the Land Registry, it cannot be fraudulently altered.
