If your debt relates to investment property, would you have shared the profit with the Bank ? You now appear to have funds to build. Creates questions?

Leaving a property in parents name and awaiting the 12 years can still be challenged if it can be shown as an intent to avoid the judgment.It would though be very hard to prove.
There are now companies (buying)these old debts at a huge discount and using local reports to keep an eye on things .
It might be an idea to approach the lender and see can you now get an agreed discount. THen everyone can just move on without watching each other !!
