Does his ex get half his house even she never lived there?

that's because the first post says his father went down as lender and so I'd assumed there was no mortgage lender as well. Just another instance of posts which miss out key details and then drip feed them in subsequent ones

That's an unwarranted assumption on your part rather than a drip-feeding of information.

So he agreed to include her in the Declaration of Trust, to make her beneficiary of the amount she said she would pay at a later date.... well, I have to say, that is a seriously idiotic thing to do.

And the idiocy didn't stop there, when he found out she cheated, he decided to challenge her, rather than going quiet and pleasantly over a nice candlelight meal, saying that he had got builders ready to start on the house and it would be nice if she transferred the money the following day before dumping her a few days later.

Most likely she is not a nasty piece of work and won't use the opportunity of his lack of brains to get something she shouldn't be entitled to.

Almost certainly half the balance after the mortgage is paid off.

(*Disclaimer* I know nothing about the legalitys, or the ability to do what I am about to say, just genuinely curious)
So, if she gets half after the mortgage is paid, could he not just remortgage it to the hilt, then sell it?

Wow! Obviously cheating is bad but that's seriously cold, remind me never to get on your bad side!

What does the trust document say, ALL of it?

It would be negligent for the beneficial interest to kick in before any money was input.

was it drawn up by a solicitor?

If there is no way it can be nulled/frustrated as a contract there may have been a partial get out by increased borrowing

I'm pretty sure the original legal document would specify the mortgage that was in place at the time. Lawyers think of this sort of thing.

Hi I bought my house.... then my boyfriend moved in... he has lived with me for 7yrs..... we share the bills.... he pays the council tax and electric bill.... I pay all the rest, if we split up, is he entitled to half of the house...????

I wonder what happened eventually. I'd like to think the ex did the decent thing.

I guess we'll never know. I never understand why people don't come back and finish what they started, or update if still ongoing.


She has no other posts on MSE either.
