My ex-husband and I sold our marital home (owned jointly) to buy another property, but neither of our names was put on the title.
The conveyancing solicitor put our money into someone else`s company which purchased two properties, with our money!
This conveyancing solicitor did this without our knowledge or consent. Shortly after this time, my ex-husband transferred all his interests in the two properties to me, except for $20,000.
I took the matter to Court to get the marital assets returned. The Judge dismissed my case.
I was bankrupted by the conveyancing solicitor, although I was solvent and this matter has not yet been finalised in the Courts.
Now that conveyancing solicitor wants me to pay her $164,529.13.
There have been Court injunction orders over the properties since 1999.
According to the Law of Resulting Trust, I am the "owner in equity" of the two properties.
