Hi I am guessing from my experience that when you sold the property, in the eyes of the Insolvency Dept., you had actually released your girlfriends share of cash in the house. I'm sure you're aware by now that in law your girlfriend would have had an entitlement to up to 50% of the beneficial interest of the home but that interest can be added to the sum. This link may help but it needs to be read carefully!! Good luck http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/guidanceleaflets/happhome.htm(posted 7036 days ago)
