You will find that our template is extremely easy to use. A British lawyer who is familiar with English banking law designed it so that you know you can rely on it. Once the lawyer has completed and returned it and you have received the legal burden or signed guarantee from the person who must sign it, you must keep the certificate in a safe place with the legal fees or original guarantee in case the person who signed it needs to prove: If you have not ensured that they have received this independent advice, Then: (a) give it to the person who needs the independent opinion to present it to their lawyer, or This model certificate of independent legal advice is intended to be used: If you are a private lender, you always want to know that independent advice was properly given before the legal fees were signed. (Technically, this is optional, but it is a best practice and it is increasingly common for lenders to require it even in the case of collateral.) It is therefore to the advantage of both: the lawyer will know how to do it. For this reason, it does not include a separate guide for completion and use as our other templates do. However, if you have any questions about this, please contact us. Often, if it is a traditional bank, the lender has its preferred form of certificate. If so, she will submit the draft and ask the wife`s independent legal counsel to sign it. However, if the lender is a private lender, you can use our certificate form at that time.

For point 1 above, such an event often occurs when the husband borrows money to finance his business and in return grants a legal charge or mortgage on the family home in favor of the lender. In such a case, the borrower and the lender need the consent of the spouse for the fees to be charged. They would have to sign the charge or mortgage to transfer their rights to the lender (usually a bank).
Even if she is not on the title deeds of the house, you still need her consent because she has the right to occupy the house. The lender has an obligation to the wife under an English court case. The case was Royal Bank of Scotland plc v. Etridge (No. 2) in 2001. The result of this case is why this form of certification can be useful. This is also why independent legal advice is mandatory in similar circumstances. It protects both the interests of the wife and those of the lender in the event of a legal office.

b) You as the lender, so that you know that the woman cannot go back later and says that you did not ensure that she received independent legal advice about her rights before signing them. (a) the wife, so that she knows what she is doing and what the risks are;.
