Hi, name-changed for this post.
My friend’s ex-husband is trying to sell of a joint asset (flat). He has contacted an estate agent who has listed it.
They are divorced under the laws of an EU country, where the judge ruled that all their assets were joint assets.
Should my friend contact a UK lawyer to block this sale or the estate agent to explain that this asset cannot be sold under the divorce settlement?
Her lawyer in said EU country told her that UK lawyers won’t accept a case without a 20K provision?
Is this correct?
Thanks for your input.
I have advised her to contact a UK lawyer in the morning but obviously she is a bit worried about the cost.
