Separation stresses with mortgage

3 Posts

Hi all
im hoping someone can help with my question. I have recently separated from my ex whom I had a joint mortgage with. I retained ownership of the house and have legal agreement to confirm this, however due to covid I have been unable to remove him from the mortgage or deeds which was fine. Now he says he applying for a trust deed to write off his debt, please can someone advise if this will affect me and the assets in my property? I am now concerned I will be paying for this. Help please

To prevent the property being sold, you may need to buy him out.
How long ago did you enter into the agreement and was he solvent when you did so?
What did he get in return for the agreement that the house would go to you? (If the transaction was for money or moneys worth it would be much harder to try to over turn it)
As you refer to a partner I am assuming you were cohabitees, not married, so there's no court order?
