My fiance and I are refinancing our penthouse in Lydney with Barclays. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Barclays conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his entitlement to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing 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.
Having sold my house in Lydney last October yet the purchaser is whats apping me complaining that her lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

Where appropriate, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the home loan has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers.
