Bankruptcy help

Hi

As I said in last post my friend has been made bankrupt : ( been to receivers today who have said a 'trustee' will be appointed as there is equity in the house. The house is in joint names however my friend paid full deposit & every mortgage payment although she left him 6 years ago.

Does anybody have any idea what appends now the receivers etc are involved with regards to keeping the house etc

Tank you for any help/advice in advance xx

    The trustee will most likely want his share of any equity in the house.

    As in previous post, if he can look into something like a FTIVA then may be an option. Or someone will probably have to buy out his share of the equity; otherwise sooner or later the trustee is likely to want to force a sale to get at it.
