Buying a house

[saleena2020]

Hi all,

Can you please advice is it ok to proceed with the house purchase if you are waiting for the decree absolute. There is no husband's contribution in anything , no kids, no financial help from husband side. Thanks x

Hi, we're just giving this thread a bump for the OP.

There is always a risk if the consent order is not in place that things could change but yours sounds very low risk

We don't need a consent order as we have nothing to split. We have decided his is his and mine is mine but still bit concerned as deposit money my mom gifted me x

Op you most definitely do need a consent order as otherwise you have no clean break financial settlement. He could come back at any time and demand money such as from an inheritance

Just ask the boss of Eco Energy who found out the hard way!

Why would my mum's funds will count in inheritance? I know about the case you are referring to but there are facts and grounds different than mine. If I buy after absolute what do you think would it be still a problem if I remarry or whatsoever?

It doesn't matter so much about the absolute in this instance. It is the fact you have money and are buying an asset. If the consent order was never in place you never split your assets. So they can be split at any point in the future when he decides you have assets and he doesn't. The forms allow for that to happen even if you already remarried. You need a consent order before buying a house whoever paid the deposit.

Hmmm.. what about trust of deed from mother side and will confirming that husband won't inherit the funds ? Would this help
I don't want to do consent order neither he knows about that so not thinking to discuss
