Hi all,
Thank you in advance for you support here.. We're in a rather peculiar situation and I'm keen to better understand the legality of what is going on.
The high level summary is that my father (Sam, divorced in 2007, not a nice man) is now attempting to lay claim to his share of the proceeds of the sale of a flat we owned (Albert Road). This flat was signed into trust to my sister (Cassandra) in 2005, as "sole benefactor". Later, when we sold this flat in 2013, Sam (my father) gave written authorization to sell the flat,dissolving the trust and putting the new property into my mother's name solely (Elizabeth).
Now, nine years since the divorce in 2005, Sam is destitute and desperate. He has begun making threatening allegations that during his bankruptcy in 2005, we were all complicit in misrepresenting things to the receiver and trustee thus, enabling us to retain Albert road property. Sam is now threatening to contact the receivers believing that he can provide them with evidence enabling them to seize proceeds from the sale of Albert road made in 2013.
Sam's tone has become menacing and he has frequently uses abrasive and aggressive language. On several occasions language such as "forcing me to do something we'll all regret" and the like have been used making us feel very threatened.
Legally, we have confirmed he has no claim to the proceed of Albert road. To our knowledge, no misrepresentation was made to the receivers in 2005, all due process was followed and the case was closed in 2005.
Where do we stand?
Happy to answer any questions.
Adam
