It is unclear from your note what the circumstances were at the time the buyer backed out so it is difficult to tell whether the sentence you quoted unequivocally gives you a right to the deposit. Practically, brokers are reluctant to release deposits of this kind without all parties'... View More

What was your agreement with your BF when he signed the loan documents in 2021? Did you convey title to him or did he merely sign the new mortgage?

Insurance proceeds payable to a named beneficiary pass outside probate and are therefore not reachable by creditors. I assume the same is true for an annuity.

You should contact a lawyer as soon as possible to proceed with collection. If the only asset the debtor has is the house you may want to consider seeking an attachment on the property before it is sold so that the debtor will have to pay you from the sale proceeds.
