I have a property in Scotland that has a charge on it. It was a loan from a previous business partner which we resolved. However he died and and the charge is still on the property. How do I get this removed?

    Going to move this to the property board to see if it can drum up some responses for you.

    You'll need to get a discharge deed signed by his executor(s).

    If it wasn’t resolved it would be a debt to the estate. You will now need to get the executors of the estate to agree to its removal as they are acting for the estate. If they won’t agree it would mean going to court and proving to the court that the charge should be removed.
