In a news article by Charlie Weston at The Irish Independent published on 6th May 2026 the writer draws attention to letters being received by homeowners in arrears from a firm linked to a vulture fund. The letter encloses a form and the offer of a voucher to encourage engagement which has raised concerns among consumer rights advocates and the need for independent legal advice. See link here: https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/vulture-fund-debt-firm-offers-250-gift-voucher-to-homeowners-in-mortgage-arrears-if-they-engage-with-it/a771747505.html

If you are dealing with vulture funds, or companies associated with them such as Mars Capital, it’s important to remember that you still have rights and options. Many families and homeowners can feel overwhelmed when loans are transferred or aggressive pressure begins, but no one should make decisions without fully understanding the consequences.

Always seek independent legal and financial advice before agreeing to any arrangement, signing documents or filling in forms such as the ones mentioned in the Irish Independent article... or making major decisions about your home or mortgage.

Taking professional advice early can help protect your interests and ensure you are treated fairly throughout the process.

Read Donnacha’s latest equine law article on our website at https://carteranhold.ie/importance-of-clear-livery-contracts-as-disputes-increase/

Livery disputes are increasing and unclear contracts are often to blame. Verbal arrangements and poorly drafted agreements are leading to disagreements over fees, notice periods, vet bills and welfare responsibilities. With rising costs, these issues are becoming more common — and when things break down, horse welfare can be at risk.

✅ A clear, up‑to‑date livery contract protects yard owners, horse owners and horses.

Divorce, separation & joint mortgages — what you need to know

In an article in The Irish Times on Sunday 3 May 2026, by Dominic Coyle, he looks at this question:
“How can I get the bank to take my husband off our €120k mortgage as part of our divorce?”

Mortgages are legal contracts, which means changes are not automatic following separation. Each case depends on financial circumstances, bank requirements, and the legal agreements put in place.

At Carter Anhold & Co we regularly advise clients on the legal steps involved in:
• Property and mortgage arrangements on divorce or separation
• Engaging with lenders as part of settlement discussions
• Transfers of property into sole name and putting binding agreements in place
• Achieving clarity and certainty for the future

Every situation is different, and tailored legal advice is essential.

📞 If you need advice specific to your circumstances, our family law team is available for confidential consultations.
