Property Title Charge Resolution

Summary

A court ruling transferred property ownership to F, but M retained a 25% legal charge. Ms CCJ led to a restriction on Fs title, affecting sale ability. Removing this restriction can be complex, often requiring a solicitor. If Ms charge wasnt registered, it may not bind third parties but could still be enforceable between M and F. Legal advice is recommended, especially given the 20-year delay in resolving the issue.
