i would like to add to this.

i did some research when a lawyer tried to charge me attestation fees.

the fifth schedule of the Solicitors Remuneration Order of 2006 reads as follows:-

A solicitor is not entitled to witnessing or attestation fee-
(a) in a case where he has prepared, settled or approved the document concerned and he is being remunerated according to this Order; or
(b) in a case where he acts for one party in a transaction and witnesses or attests the signature of another party for whom he is not acting.

when i found out about this, i immediately appointed my own lawyer. if someone is going to try and cheat me out of RM300, how can i trust him with the balance of my purchase price, which will be held by him as stakeholder? clearly a desperado.

you have been warned.

by the way dario, you are doing a great job helping people out. your boss must be pissed
