If a parent is transferring a property to five siblings, each of them must have his or her separate legal representation. That is the point. That amounts to a money grab by the Law Society.
The examples the Minister cited in solicitors acting for a person on a mortgage with the bank should not happen. There should be a mechanism to deal with that but this, by targeting the small people, is not the way to deal with it. It is honest solicitors, who will give a good service and a good job, who are being lumped in on the back of a couple of rogue practitioners. The ultimate effect of that is everybody must pay, and that is wrong.
