Chasing a Solicitor/lawyer in melb ASAP
- Thread starter SOULFLY3
- Start date
After having the bank stuff my loan doc's I have 2 weeks to get everything sorted and in the docs I require a legal rep to witness and sign..
Is there any board members (solicitors or lawyer) in Melbourne area available over the next day or two to witness and sign?
Just witness or do you need legal advice? A non lawyer could possibly witness.
That sounds cheap to me - I would probably charge more. (If I did that sort of thing).
It's about ballpark for what I've known a lot of clients to pay.
I've had to do it when guaranteeing a loan. Cost me about $200 (but I might be wrong) and it took about 45mins as he went over the implications of guaranteeing a loan.
If you google independant advice you will find a few that specialise in it.
I paid over $500 about a year ago for this - was the most expensive 3 minute phone call of my life and totally unnecessary but what can you do?
It was (almost) literally "do you understand what you're signing?"
"Yes"
"Goodbye".

It was a certificate of legal advice, not a sig witness.
That lawyer took a huge risk. How would he even know it was you he talked to. And a 3 min phone call would be evidence that he didn't explain much at all.
There is a case where a lawyer did one of these for a husband and wife. The lawyer had known the husband for years, but he never met the wife. One day they come in to get mortgage docs signed to get a LOC over their unencumbered property. It later turned out it was not the wife but the girlfriend - guess who was liable for the loan!
Terry beat me to it. How did the Solicitor verify it was you he was giving the advice to?

Hmm can't remember off the top of my head.
Does sound risky in hindsight but I didn't think to much on it at the time.
