In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Forestdale? Is this really necessary?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Forestdale conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are duty bound to ascertain not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your conveyancer ending their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to inform the relevant authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
