Hello, I would welcome advice on a delicate matter. I have bought a place in France and my partner is listed as being with me as a 'couple' so the property deeds cite both of us as owners, I don't have a problem with this but my partner has had a few years of lousy business, he has run up a large credit card / bank loan debt and has been advised to declare himself bankrupt. It seems the sensible thing to do as his business is unlikely to recover and he is therefore unlikely to be able to meet his commitments as far as debt repayment goes. My question is this if he declares himself bankrupt will his English creditors be able to get their hands on our shared French property ? I put about 90% of the money up but I have no proof of this. There is no question of recrimination or a break up as we are extremely happy but I would like him to be able to rid himself of this problem if possible. I will seek professional advice when necessary but I would be grateful for any pointers. Thanks Jenny.
