Letting my inherited house

my company failed leaving lots of greedy and well insured creditors chasing me for money that they don't deserve. They were all insured and claimed back their losses. I am due to inherit a house worth around 250K but it has to be transferred into my name on the title deeds before I can sell it. How can I prevent the creditors from finding out about this for long enough to let me sell the house and disappear to another country? if they find out they will try to claim this asset through the courts. These people are already rich and have already claimed their money back through their insurers. They do not deserve this additional money on top of what they have already received.

Thanks for the answers I've already received. The situation is that one of my brothers had a joint ownership with our mother, and lived in the property. Sadly she's died, and myself and our other brother each inherit a third of the house. I don't live in the property, and nor does my other brother. I'm ready to let our brother live in the property until he feels ready to sell, but my other brother contacted him within a few days of our mother's death, trying to force an early discussion on selling the property and threatening a legal wrangle to force a sale if he didn't comply. The brother who doesn't live on the property is extremely well-off and owns two homes - can his behaviour in this matter be legally justified?

I'm an Indian citizen permanently resident in the UK. I've inherited a house in India from my parents, who have never lived outside India. They don't know whether to arrange a sale and transfer funds to me, or transfer the property to my name and then let me arrange the sale myself - any suggestions? I'm not sure how tax works, both in the UK and India, for this sort of thing. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Since I had children I have always had a low income,different circumstances at different times but as a nurse my income was always low.Because of that I have spent my entire adult life juggling my money and just keeping going,which means my financial background is not very good.I am now retired and receiving a pension but I have inherited a considerable amount of money which means I no longer need to juggle. I want to rent a house and am more than willing to pay six months in advance plus deposits and expenses ,none of which will be any problem to me now and paying monthly rent after that will not pose a problem either. Would they consider renting to me under those circumstances? i can give character references and of course they will see that I am not a troublesome tenant if they rent me a place as all my problems in the past have been finacial. Do you think if I went into a letting agency and explained this and could even offer a years rent upfront that they would consider me?
I have no desire to own a property as I do not want the extra worry of major maintenence jobs ,I don't mind the minor stuff such as redecorating or unblocking sinks etc but just don't need the hassle of having to get the exterior painted and possibly roof repairs etc. There is a lot of work in keeping your own property and I am getting older. I have more than enough money now to keep until death .
If I were younger I would buy but as i am not and I can afford to rent a much nicer house than i could buy ,renting is the way forward for me. I understand a landlord might want the property back before I want to move but finding another rental would not be so hard.I know I am not a troublesome tenant and will look after the property etc and the rent will be paid on time so it is just this first rental that worries me ,hopefully both landlord and I will be happy and I stay till I die but if not I will have good credit reports etc

I inherited a 50% share in a house from my mother ten years ago and immediatley bought my brothers half out using a buy to let mortgage fo £90000 and therefore own the house outright.

I have been renting the house out ever since and IM now wondering what my capital gains liability would be if I sold the house which is now worth around £220000. Any details on how capital gains would be calculated in this situation would be appreciated.

Hi there, I have found myself in a predicament and was wondering if anyone had any advise or experience in a similar situation.

As a first time buyer, I bought a house with my ex partner 3 years ago. She does not work due to disability but inherited some money which we used for a deposit.

She paid £25,000 for a deposit and I secured a mortgage based on my salary. Joint names are however on the mortgage, deeds to the house and land registry. No agreement was made in terms of investment into the property when the mortgage was drawn down and I understand we hold it as joint tenantcy. 

Since purchase I have largely made all mortgage and bill payment, alongside investing time and money into renovating the property and increasing its market appeal and value. Her benefit money has mostly been spent on clothes and shoes.

The relationship has broken down and I am ready to move on.
Initially I looked into walking away, signing the house over and lossing out on my investment. However the bank  won't let me transfer the mortgage to her as she has no real income.

She wants to stay at the property and advised if I don't move out in 4 weeks she will change the locks and I will find my possesions in the front garden.

I can't afford to move out and rent whilst still paying the mortgage at the property and don't want to destroy my proud credit history by defaulting on payments.

The only option I can see viable is to sell, a topic she blankly will discus. The house was relatively cheap when purchased so negative equity should not be an issue.

Can I force the sale of the house? I never settled in the area, would not want to buy her out and she is not in a financial position to buy me out.

Am I correct that if sold I am entitled to half the equity once the mortgage has been repaid? She may Have put down the deposit, but for the last 3 years I have paid everything else.

Sorry for the essay, but any advise is always appreciated.

I have always had cats but recently inherited some after my parents in law passed away five weeks apart. I am now moving to a smaller house and cannot possibly take them all with me. I live in Wiltshire and would really like to rehome them instead of sending them to the overflowing animal shelters. I have a 4 month old kitten called diesel, then 3 females, 2 black and white cats aged 6 and 4, 1 tabby cat which is the one I am worried about as she only had 3 kittens 2 days ago. The there is the beast of them all Rocky he is such a loving cat but his front legs are deformed, they do not hinder him in any way except one he can climb jump fight the same as a normal cat but cannot clean himself properly so he needs brushing at least once a week. They are all sweet natured and do not bite or scram.
I just cant take them with me.
Let me know if you are interested
I know this is not the best way but I am out of options. I have advertised locally and got nothing. I dont know if I could hand them over to the animal shelters, who do an amazing job but have lately been overrun with abandoned animals I cannot send them there knowing it could be weeks or months before they find a home. They have been through enough losing both there owners and having to move into a strange house with my 2 cats and 1 dog. I am trying to find the least stressful way for them. If anyone was interested in rehoming my special cats I would insist on vetting them first and have no objections to them getting any of them vet checked. If both parties are happy then great. But if 1 party is unsure the rehoming does not go through.

Every March to April a lot of people have themselves a spring clean. A spring clean is a thorough clean of your home and all storage areas.

Sometimes the cleaning is not so much cleaning but more a case of tidying up and puting everything you have into order. Its an opportunity for clothing hoarders to go through wardrobes and draws full of clothing to make very tough decisions.

Such as clothes that fit but are to well worn - cut up use as dusters or recyle and throwout.

Clothes that are brand new but have never been worn more than once, keep but try to hang them so that articles are matching ready for wear.

Clothes that used to fit but no longer do, poses a problem, because if you have gained in weight and want to lose weight should you be getting rid of all those clothes that are two, three or even four sizes smaller than what you are now? The answer is no. But you need to be realistic as well.

What if you lost weight should you keep all your larger size clothing? in my view you should get rid of the largest non fitting clothing. For example you are now a size 12, but your wardrobe is full of size 14, 16 and 18's. I would get rid of all size 16 to 18 outfits. It does not necessarily mean put them in the bin for recyling you could take them to a charity shop. The size 14 clothes you have kept you could regard as your casual wear. In particular if it is tailored clothing size 14 is not a great deal different to size 12.

Next, over the years people do seem to hoard things that are of no use aswell. Kettles, toasters, electric coffee pots. If these goods don't work why keep them. Ring your envirocall office up, bag them up and let them be taken away. These things are cluttering up the shed, the greehouse, the larder, the store cupboard below the stairs and your outhouse, you need to clean and tidy up this space. So that they become working spaces for you.

Occassionally, when I have little to do, I do people a favour and they are ever so grateful afterwards, so here's another much maligned area::-

Food cupboards, I'm stunned by people who never clear out tins and jars of foods which are three years or so out of date. Surely they don't intend to eat these foods, so why keep them. Get rid.

Another clear out is the number of broken toys kept in the childs room, would your child really notice if you threw them out. What about reducing the number of visible toys to a more moderate figure and what of that understorage bed section, should it really be full of old comics and colouring books.

You know if adults are untidy and are hoarders it is highly likely that your children will be also. As children copy adults thinking this is the way we live.

For me there is nothing more aggravating than buying more than what you need, because the excess seems to have no value and often gets disposed of at car boot sales, Only to start spending in excess again filling up all the nooks and crannies of every room in your home.

Well this is the first of...
