My fiance and I are refinancing our flat in Longlands with Barclays. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Barclays conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his entitlement to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Barclays. This is solely used to protect Barclays if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Barclays had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important number one tip you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Longlands?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Longlands or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and on occasion a bank. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Longlands is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
There is a distinct increase in the "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. You must always trust your solicitor above the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
