Firstly you should ensure that you are on the legal title to the property. If your boyfriend has resolved his financial situation with his ex-wife it will depend on whether he has a continuing maintenance liability. If not, then it is doubtful if she would have a claim. Please note we cannot be responsible for any problems which may arise unless we have the opportunity of a detailed discussion in regard to all the facts and the action which is required. We are making general observations only from the limited facts available. We advise that you seek a short appointment with a solicitor who is a member of Resolution.

In a financial settlement any inheritance must be disclosed to the court. It will depend on many different aspects as to whether the court will take it into account. For example, how much; when it was received; has it been kept separately; are the needs of both of you satisfied without touching the inheritance.
