Settlement Agreed Following Inadvertent Deed of Trust and Bankruptcy

Background

After an individual unintentionally entered into a Deed of Trust with her then partner, the individual sought after our Insolvency team to provide advice on next steps and help to reach a settlement. The Deed of Trust dated back to 1999 and gave our client’s ex-partner a 50% beneficial interest in our client’s residential home.

Following this, the client’s ex-partner was subsequently made bankrupt in 2001 and the 50% beneficial interest vested in the Official Receiver.

Our Support

Our Insolvency specialists provided expert advice on our client’s options and a subsequent equitable accounting exercise was carried out.

Outcomes

The team’s input resulted in a settlement being reached with the Official Receiver for our client purchase their interest in the property.
