Hi all, I have a question to ask,
Am I being conned by my solicitor?
I have been living in a home with my own family that was left to my brothers and sisters including me for the past ten years that was left to us by our late parents.
I recently moved out with my familyto a new home and the decision was made by all of us to sell the family home as noone had any further need for it.
We sold the home 7 weeks back, the house exchanged documents and the keys have been handed over. No problems.
My Solicitor then paid the auctioneer and took his fees but then stopped before paying my brothers and sisters and me stating that he had to sort out Capital Gains Tax.!
Now im not sure if we do or dont have to pay this tax, the solicitor said he would look into it. Eitherway 7 weeks have now passed, we no longer own the home and have yet to receive a single cent in any of the money.
Is this right? Can my solictor withhold the money? Ive asked him what is going on and he simply says he is sorting it out!
Am I being conned, what can i do legally?
Please help!!!!
