Document background
A Demand Letter for Turnover of Property is a crucial document in the property recovery process under English and Welsh law. It is typically used when one party seeks to recover property (whether physical items, real estate, or other assets) from another party who has possession but no legal right to retain it. The letter serves as formal notice and is often required as part of pre-litigation procedures. It must clearly identify the property, state the legal basis for the demand, and provide reasonable time for compliance. This document is particularly important as it creates a paper trail and can demonstrate to courts that reasonable attempts were made to resolve the matter before litigation.
