Solicitors turning blind eye to Money Laundering, and fraud.

14 Posts

Hi, not sure what to do. But it seems like i have a dodgy Solicitor.. We are going though a dispute where the executors have stolen a few hundred thousand pounds from my relative while she had dementia. I got the LPA Stopped. After seeing finally the Bank statements that the executors were hiding from us, as all equal on the WILL. They have stolen alot of money. BUT 100% money Laundering involving over £90,000.00. My solicitor does not want to comment on what it is, saying he will speak on the phone about it. Then on the phone when i say " This is money laundering " He says " Sure, sure..." ? But has done nothing to report it. All he does is constantly put me under pressure to go to mediation , without all of the bank records which we need to see, so we can see how much money should be shared between us. It has cost us so far £10,000.00 and we finally got him to submit the Land Mark Asset searches after asking for 15 months for them. He told us it would only cost us £5,000.00 plus 6 months to get this sorted. Feeling really ripped off, plus he has given the over side permission to do things without our consent. Also when i have said do not give the other side this info. .A week later he sends it to them ? Are all Solicitors the same ?. We were promised justice after being put through so much, but even the people you go to for help want to take from you. It really feels that he is on there side, really important documents that i keep asking for, we dont get, we have so much evidence of fraud ect, but he just wants what the other side want...A quick mediation, without us getting the deal we deserve. Feeling really let down.

How do you know that money has been laundered - do you know what money laundering is, because there's certainly no evidence of that in what you've posted.
You keep making references to 'we' without specifying to whom 'we' refers. The solicitor can't give the other side (?who are 'the other side') permission to do things without 'our' (?who is 'our') consent.
1. A relative of yours has died. The Executors to the Will also had POA for this person when they were alive. Prior to death the people with POA stole a few hundred thousands from this person. You contacted the courts and had the POA revoked and a dispute is ongoing over where the money has gone. Is this right?
2. As well as steeling hundreds of thousands, these people are laundering 90k of money - where/who is this money from, and how are they laundering it?
If the above is correct then:
Are you an Executor too?
Are you a beneficiary to the Will?
Are the Executor beneficiaries?
Who has promised you justice and justice for what?
You say you have so much evidence of fraud, is that related to the money going missing through POA or something else.
I'm really sorry but I can't follow the situation, but if you can answer the above, we might all understand a little better to help?
It would also help to explain what has made you believe that money is being laundered? It sounds possible that your solicitor disagrees but hasn't directly come out and said so, but pointing you at mediation instead would appear to indicate that as a possibility.
Have you given the SRA 'all the details'?
Is that what you are suggesting has happened?
