Hi,
2 years before I went BR I took out 65K of equity to pay my debts.
2 months before I went BR, I transferred the house to my wife when we re mortgaged, and had a declaration of trust drawn up to state that I had withdrawn my share of the house.
I am now discharged. There was no discussion about what my beneficial interest is (I pay half the mortgage - but am not listed on it), there was no charging order on the property against my wife.
Is it all over now I am discharged. Trying to make sense of

I am nervous about this 3 year rule I read about.
thanks

Hi Indy
I answered this on another thread. But basically I would argue that you have already taken your equity out.

...Surely if this has been via an examiner, who hasnt thought there was any beneficial interest, and now I am discharged, they wont start pursuing it just because I put my foot in it and mentioned it.

Hi,
No it has recently been passed straight to RTLU.
I made the big mistake of asking my case officer about assets and next steps. She mentioned the shares being liquidated, and the IPA, but not the house. Stupidly, I asked about the house as I had heard nothing about it (and wanted closure), and she said now that I had brought it to her attention, she was going to examine it.
My question is (1) was I stupid to ask (I just want to know its over, I want them to say "we looked into it and there is nothing of interest"), and (2) what can they do? The house is transferred into my wifes name, I have taken my equity out to pay debts, the house value has dropped since I went BR (although my wife still has equity in it). I have been paying half towards all bills though.

Hi indy
Have you ever been notified of a Trustee being appointed?
The 3 year rule can still apply if the OR/Trustee thinks you have a beneficial interest regardless of whether you are discharged or not.
You or your wife would normally have been notified by now if the believe there is a beneficial interest in the property, however, if it happened that the 65K you took out wiped out your half of the equity then they have probably just let it go.
