• Removing A Uncontactable Ex Partner From Title Deeds

    By Guest on 17th Apr 2016

    I brought my property 13 years ago with a partner who left some 12 months later. I now want to sell as I'm moving overseas . The mortgage is still in join names but despite trying to explain, he is still on the mortgage but has never paid anything. I'm just about to put the property on the market. What do you advise?

    You can under section 36 of the Trustee Act 1925 appoint an additional trustee to replace your ex-partner and allow you to sell. Regardless of any contributions made your ex-partner may well still be entitled to some of the proceeds and you and the new trustee will be responsible for ensuring that he gets his share. You must therefore get advice from s solicitor specialising in trust law before proceeding

    Thank you. I am seeking legal advice. I am now wondering after reasonable attempts to track him down at what point if we can't locate him, the opportunity is over for him. I genuinely feel he will not be interested and also believe that he may no longer be in the UK. This is beginning to sound expensive.
