Not sure if this should be in legal or money. Just found out partner may be made bankrupt. :(
We are not married and the house is in my name. I pay all the mortgage and most of the bills. The odd bill comes from his account. Can they make a claim on my house? How will we be able to prove that most of the items in the house are mine as I doubt we have receipts for the TV and various other expensive items like a piano.
Also, for other reasons (to do with making sure he is entitled to my pension should anything happen to me) we were wanting to show some mutual dependency such as setting up a joint bank account and most of the bills are in joint names even if they come out of my account. We haven't got around to it yet but should we not apply for an account now or will it make no difference to whether they consider he has an interest in the house?
Would we be wise to halt plans to get married? :(
