Smoke and Mirrors: Shams and Illusory Trusts in Divorce Proceedings
The existence of so-called ‘sham’ or ‘illusory’ trusts in divorce proceedings often leads to complex and intellectually engaging work for family and chancery lawyers. Identifying such trusts can significantly impact the value of the matrimonial pot and the eventual financial distribution. Remedies are typically pursued through interim applications under s 37 Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 and/or s 423 Insolvency Act 1986.
