Husband obtained the home by fraud and now wants a share of the property in divorce!
Hello guys,
Just after some advice of what i should do for the following scenario,
Husband and wife are currently going through the divorce process and have filed form E's and had their first hearings. The house where they lived was bought by the wife's uncle in late 90s and he left it with her when he moved abroad, he was the deed holder when moved abroad.
It has come to light now to that husband obtained the deed by a fraudulent method of the house in early 2000s without any knowledge of the wife or the uncle who has not returned since he left in late 90s. The husband is asking in court for his share of the house, little knowing that the wife has now discovered his fraud.
The wife's uncle still is under the impression that he has a house over here and gave power of attorney to her to deal with his assets mid 2000s. The Land registry have been notified and are currently looking into this as there may be negligence by them.
What should the wife now do? Should she write to the land registry, on behalf of the uncle as to the fact that how was the house transferred to the husband without his knowledge?
Or should she report the fraud to the police and seek criminal prosecution?
The wife has not notified the court of this, should she do so?
Thanks
