My mother wants to add my name to land she has so the 2 of us will be joint owners. We have rang a solicitor and they sent us out an ESTIMATE of what it will cost to have my name added .......... €5000.
Is it really this expensive to add my name so i can be joint owner, or is this solicitor taking us for a ride?
Also do we need to have a solicitor for this? Is there another way around it?
well ya that's what i mean transferring a share of ownership to me, so we'll be joint owners then.
yes the 5,000 inclueds stamp duty and all fees, but it's highlighted that it's only an estimate so it could be more. Solicitors fees are nearly 3,000. I just think that's a bit steep for adding my name to it when she already owns the land.
