Hello just looking for some advice, I am getting married this July. My wife to be owes about €70,000 on her mortgage but her ex-husband (they are divorced) has 3 judgements on the house dating back to the last one in 2008. The ex-husbands name has been removed from the register of ownership on the land registry document and my partner is now the sole owner. The debts on the house total €65,000, to the Credit Union, Anglo Irish Bank and an Electrical Wholesaler. I would like to have these debts removed from the house as they are her ex-husbands debts. After doing some research I have filled out the Land-Registry-Form-57B for all. Should I now get a Lawyer to review and submit? Thank you any advice much appreciated.

Thank you, I did have a read through them before posting. Just looking for a bit more information on my next steps and the procedure for removing. I will revisit them posts again now. Thanks.
 
Have been working with a Solicitor on removing the mentioned above judgements and it looks like we might have just missed the deadline on the 12/09/2024 changes to the Statute of limitations Act 1957. These changes have removed the 12 years limitation and is replaced with "shall continue to apply without limit as to time, until such time as it is paid in full". Not to much online about these changes. trying to look into the fact that the documents where filed before the changes came into effect and also that the debts are in ex husbands name and he is no longer listed on title documents as owner of the house. Not looking good though.
