My husband and I are refinancing our maisonette with Hanley Economic Building Society. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. The solicitor on the Hanley Economic Building Society conveyancing panel has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have two concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Hanley Economic Building Society conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Hanley Economic Building Society 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 Hanley Economic Building Society .This is solely used to protect the Hanley Economic Building Society if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave.
