Hi Greatbrits and welcome to the forum.

The OR will look at your husbands interest in the parents' property. If your share was used to pay debts, and you have no more equity, providing you have documentary evidence (ie bank statements etc), the OR should sell your beneficial interest to a third party (who you can nominate) for £1 + costs (circa £250).

However, to be sure, I would suggest you contact a bankruptcy specialist to discuss this in depth to see exactly where you stand. Brett England of England, Jackman & Spacey does excellent work in this area, as does Paul Johns of Reviva. You can contact them through their web links on the experts page.

Hope this helps.

Your husband - or rather his parents - have an argument for marshalling, which means they may have a legitimate claim that your husband no longer has an interest in their property on the basis of the recent borrowings used to repay his debt. Why was he not taken off the deeds at that time?

For an informal chat about any financial difficulties, or advice as to the options available, I can be contacted via my website - www.melaniegiles.com

Hi greatbrits - welcome to the forum.
I need one of the BR assist experts to answer this one for you. It's not something I have knowledge of personally.
Don't worry one will be on line to day to answer your question and give you anymore advice you need.

Kind Regards
