Divorced artist in court fight to prove ex signed over 1.5m house to her on WhatsApp

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."

"London based painter Hsiao Mei-Lin, 54, married Icelandic financier Audun Mar Gudmundsson, 54, in 2009, but had a troubled marriage and separated in 2016. During their time together, they lived in a 1.5m house in affluent Tufnell Park, north London, which is now at the centre of a High Court fight, with Ms Lin desperate to remain in her home."

The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across topics including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while keeping reporting accessible without paywalls. Donations support sending journalists to report directly from developing stories and to present perspectives from both sides. London-based painter Hsiao Mei-Lin, 54, is engaged in a High Court test case after claiming her ex-husband, Icelandic financier Audun Mar Gudmundsson, 54, signed over their 1.5m Tufnell Park home via WhatsApp. The case centers on whether WhatsApp messages sent before Mr Gudmundsson's bankruptcy can legally transfer property ownership.
