yeah, but am i liable for the whole lot? or just half? as the mistake was made when the property was in joint names, and then 2 settlements happened subsequently?
Intersting conundrum, that's why we have lawyers I guess.

If the property was in both names, what about the management contract with the agent? If that was in your name only they could argue the contract was with you alone.
There could also be the arguement that when your wife transfered her interest in the property to you, you subsequently took over all liabilities and contractual obligations.

If it is a small amount of money, if it were me I would just pay them and move on. It doesn't make economical sense to fight it, and do you need the aggro of trying to drag a potentially hostile 3rd party into it?
