has any one had a trust deed drawn up ?

Question

when my boyfriend moved into my house with me with nothing but his clothes and a clapped out car ,i was concerned that if we split up he could claim half of my house and as i have two children i was worried so i had a trust deed that he signed but as i have found out to my cost it was not worth the paper it was written on.as he contested it .to cut a long story short it was a legal binding document ,i was told that when it went to court i would win but it would take approx 18months and a huge amount of money to get that far i supported him for years when he was out of work i even paid his child maintenance

Answer 1

I can't answer for U.S. Law, nor can I answer for your trust deed without seeing it, but going by your narrative I would ask your ex if the words "**** off" hold any meaning fdor him. Given that the assets were yours prior to the trust deed, and depending on it's contents, his share of your property is approximately 0.00000000% (or at least it would be in the U>K> and I can't believe it wouldn't be in the U.S.)

Answer 2

Legally he has no chance since you had the house before him. How many years did you have the house before he moved in or knew him? You should have never put up a trust deed in the first place unless you have money, trust deed are for people who have money and assets. Are you guys married or not? It also depends in what state you are in. So the legal laws are different in each state. If he tries to fight for the house my adcise it to get an attorney, but I don't think he would do so he's more than likely pluffing to see your reaction.

Answer 3

If and when he actually sues you, get thee to a lawyer.

Answer 4
