Hi all,
I really only have bare facts but here goes.
Solicitor A acting for client in conveyancing matters. Solicitor A dies and either he had his own company initially or was a partner within a company. Solicitor A was mid-way through registering a charge which was never completed. Client decided to change solicitors and now is looking for new solc. to register charge.
My question really is should the company/person who took over from Solicitor A when he died be the one to register the charge given they would still have the files????
I know its a bit vague but I am only going on the v.v. bare facts.
Thanks as always
