Raynor the tax dodger

Ask the BBC. That’s what they said. Look, Notch, old chap. You’re trying to defend the indefensible. Give up. Accept that you’ve been conned and move on with your life.
It’s not what they said.

You misread.

I am not defending her, just pointing out your inaccuracies.
 
After last years fiasco with her you would have thought she would realise they are out to get her so would cross every t and dot every I. But then again that is common sense.

Yes, you would have thought that.

I have a question about the mechanics of the process. It's not about whether she had done anything wrong. Just something that has interested me about this case.

What happens when you buy a house these days. Presumably, the solicitor has to ask you for information to determine the amount of stamp duty payable. Is there, for example, a standard form which you fill in where you answer questions like "Will you own more than one home when this purchase is completed".

Is the last bit correct?

If the trust is the owner, It’s seems odd that the parents are also owners despite having zero financial interest.

Are the parents trustees?
Says so on relevant Gov.uk website, it's there in black and white about a third of a page down

Simple form. Fill it out as if you were Ange but remember that as your child is under 18, you are still co-owner of that property for stamp duty purchases.

Thanks, that was very helpful.

The only relevant question seems to be the one below. So, is that the only question the solicitor asks. Don't they even run through the basic scenarios on the government website such as "Are any of your children the beneficiaries of a trust which holds property on their behalf"

I would point out that dealing with a medical trust is a nightmare as there is a disconnect between what a court orders, as they have control over the trust formation and other legislation such as tax. Courts simply ignore other legislation outside of their consideration, their sole focus is on the beneficiary of the trust.

In this case a divorce had taken place and was a court settlement not a private one as children were involved, normally couples act as trustees but when you divorce that trust must become a court appointed trust, courts regularly appoint themselves legal guardians and just as often remove themselves as guardians. Simply put a court can remove you at a bang of a gavel from being a child's parent and as quickly reinstate you, basically they grant you access to your own children without you having any rights over the child until a divorce is complete and you agree the terms with a court on parental responsibility and satisfy the court that you are carrying them out.

I suspect that this will be one of those cases, a court telling you are not the legal guardian and you acting at the courts direction , only to find out later that in the eye's of another piece of law you were still the parent all along for the purposes of that other law. If you are told by a judge you are not longer a child's parent who do you believe ?

Judges are literally a law unto themselves.

When you are a trustee, you are expected to have more than basic knowledge of your responsibilities.

The so called legal advisors she's claimed she's used have turned round and said they didn't advise her. She'll be gone by the end of the day.
