OR wants to take partner's property!

I had an interview with the OR today and they want me to prove I have no interest in the property. It's all in my husband's name, and I signed a deed of exclusion 10 years ago.

The solicitor no longer has the deed I signed, so what can I do to prove I have no interest in the property?

did you not file the deed at the land registry, i cant belive the solicitor would lose the deed

You can download a copy of the deeds from The Land Registry for £4.

Thank you for your responses. I panicked for a moment.
I'll get a copy from the land registry.

I do have one more question as my sister went through bankruptcy the day after me.
She's in a similar situation, but she's not married to her partner and they've been living together for just 5 years.
She was told (before filing for bankruptcy) that a Rent book is sufficient evidence to prove she doesn't have an interest in her partner's property, but I worry if that's accurate because when I spoke to the OR they said it didn't matter that I had a rent book.

This is a very complicated area, to be absolutly certain of not gaining an interest you need to put it in proven writing at the start, anything else is shades of grey, put it another way if you had divorced would you be expecting a share of the property.

Has your sister really kept a rent book for 5 years between her and her partner
