I beleive it will cause a problem. The trustee will want to see what equity there is is the property and will probably want you to pay half.

I am not an expert but I am sure one will anwer later.

Hi amanda b

the important thing is that your husband hasn't given away assets that would have been in his estate and be a benefit for his creditors.

I would suggest that you and your husband get professional advice as there are several options other than Br than in certain circumstance may be more appropriate.

Please see the list of forum experts who would be able to give you both guidance with regard to the situation

You would also be very wise to consult a matrimonial lawyer who can advise you of your rights in family law as well as insolvency.

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
