Hi all,
Not posted on here for a long time but hoping someone can help or at least tell me should I be asking more questions, so bit of background, in a relationship 11 years, moved in about 4 years ago, moved out after a year then back in again 2 years later, split up 8 months later for good, deed of trust entered at first move in that took in a substantial cash injection for remortgage, debt repayment, loft conversion on my part.
house now sold, completes next week, letter wrote to confirm a reduction in my monies to aid the ex been able to afford a new place and to draw a line on house sale some months back.
question should I have heard anything from my exs solicitor yet as so soon to completion or should I assume as the letter contained my bank details that I will get my money at completion. Ex seems to think it will be a while after as she wants them to get my signature to say I have no interest in her new property before the release of money, just wondered what the process would normally go like?
also just as a sideline her solicitor said the deed of trust wasn’t worth the paper it was written on even though a solicitor wrote it and it was properly witnessed etc
any advice appreciated.

"also just as a sideline her solicitor said the deed of trust wasn’t worth the paper it was written on even though a solicitor wrote it and it was properly witnessed etc"
I don't understand why you are saying that's a sideline? Have the solicitors given an undertaking to pay you in accordance with your understanding of the deed of trust? Do you have a more or less exact figure, and are you happy with that amount?
If there's any hint of a disagreement, do you have your own solicitors representing you?
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
No solicitor on my behalf, I’m happy to accept the amount I stated in my letter, as I say to draw a line and to enable my ex to move, also the chances were had I not done this, that it could take years to get her to sell the house using the courts. No disagreement just wondering should I have heard something from her solicitors by now or should I be asking for there details and contact them direct?Thanks for the reply0

Your ex's solicitors represent her, not you. They will act a) in accordance with her instructions (whatever they might be) and b) in her best interests.
You need your own solicitor.3
