And you didn't think it wise to maybe move all of your joint assets over to Lisa's sole ownership , leave her out of the Company and protect what you both had from any liability?. And before anybody mentions the potential liability of giving everything to their partner i can guarantee you there are solicitors desks all over the Uk with agreements pre-signed reversing that position to protect people from screwing one another over while protecting them from external claims.
We have discussed this with a lawyer and it wouldn't be an effective defence in that type of situation. The assets would need to be in Lisa's sole name for, if memory serves, 8 years before no claim could be made against them. The advice we were given is that this is akinned to trying to transfer all your assets to your children before you die. If it's obvious that's what's been going on then the courts will see through it.
Oh yeah, and at the point of incorporation neither of us would have been given a mortgage by ourselves that would have covered our house.
