Failed and was much over shadowed by the "wicked witch" it seem so like a lot of failed lawyers entered the political arena.

Looks like Tony was a Pupil but never progressed to a Tenant.

Yes it would be complicated for the solicitors to do seeing as though no such database exists!

 

I think you're letting your past experiences and preconceptions of solicitors cloud your judgment.

 

You need to get out if this mindset of "suspicion" and "accusation" of money laundering.

 

It's a legal requirement for the solicitor to check where hundreds of thousands of pounds of cash came from. They can't just ignore it when the individual solicitor himself/herself is the one that will potentially go to prison.

 

Oh and Tony Blair was a barrister, not a solicitor.

When my lady friend informed her conveyancing company that she obtained the money from the sale of a previous property how could this be checked if there is no land registry data base? Tony Blair was one of the biggest liars going which proves my point. OK so a barrister is a higher ranking professional liar compared to a solicitor.

Tony Blair has a price on his head due to being a liar and instigating illegal wars. The state also pays huge amounts of money to protect him. I therefore conclude that my past experiences and preconceptions of solicitors is based on facts and not opinions.

There is no database that you describe I'm afraid.

There are other ways to ascertain where funds come from. Looking at bank statements and letters from the previous conveyancing solicitors showing the completion of the previous sale.

That's interesting regarding there being no land registry data base. 28 months ago my wife disappeared.

The house is in my name only. A solicitor told me that I can legally sell this house and move on.

She also said that if I buy another property my wife's divorce solicitor will track me down using land registry records

and force me to sell the property for a divorce settlement. How can that happen if there is no land registry data base?

Elsewhere on this forum I have been told that I cannot sell my house and buy another property without being tracked down by a solicitor using the land registry. I seem to be given contradictory advice on this forum.

There is a database of every registered property and who owns them.

You can search who owns a particular property but there isn't a way to search a person's name and see what properties they own.

There are other ways to trace an individual though. Once you find out where someone lives you can then check the registry to see if that person owns it.

As much as I dislike the " grinning jackanapes" I don't think he or his behaviour has any relevance to your situation.

My understanding (I may well be wrong) is that the land registry in theory has the function to allow a search by name, but generally does not let this search be performed for data protection reasons (I imagine it requires a court order).

If you tried to hide your money by buying property to hide your assets from your wife, eventually your wife would find out through a determined solicitor - whether that is by way of the above search, whether by an order you attend court for questioning, whether by way of getting an order for information about your bank accounts to trace the money or whether by some other method to track you down. The law makes it difficult to avoid the legal distribution of assets on divorce through trying to hide your money.

Thanks for your reply. Would my wife's solicitor be able to track me down if I sold my house, drew the money out of the bank in cash, then drove to another country and bought a property using the cash?

On a hypothetical note, what would happen if I sold my house then went to Ladbrokes, put the money on a horse and lost the lot?

Attending court for questioning would then be very interesting.

What's the difference between a paralegal and a solicitor...

I am not a paralegal, I used to be, anyway, I don’t know what is the difference is between a paralegal and a solicitor? Is it that one runs around all day 5 days a week busting a gut to provide a quality professional service to the client and making sure that all Court deadlines are met etc. etc. while the other one just sits around on his fat lazy arse all day 5 days a week filling his gut and his wallet with monies paid by the client?

I don’t know Gany, you tell us.

We could have a laugh for a change (and should in some respects and more often too) and crack a few gags towards the midnight hour and I would of course enjoy that. However, there is a very good filum on filum 4+1 at 10:00pm tonight called “The Lincoln Lawyer” it is a very, very, very good movie and I am signing off now to settle down and watch it, why don’t you try and watch it too, I am certain that you would find it entertaining and enjoyable, the ending is just right.

Kind regards

There doesnt appear to be much of a difference although there are some restrictive practices.

I discovered today that my son's Paypal account is under investigation for

suspicion of money laundering. This is apparently due to him selling over £1000 worth

of goods in the last month.

My son has been selling his honestly gained posessions due to

recently becoming unemployed.

What on earth is going on here?

How can selling your own posessions on Ebay and using Paypal be considered to be

money laundering?

I have some very valuable items which I bought privately many years ago that I was considering selling on Ebay. Should I do this, I assume my account will be placed under investigation for suspected money laundering. I don't have the receipts for the items I bought years ago so I won't be able to prove where I bought them from.

Who brought in these crazy rules, Paypal or this lunatic coalition government?
