there was a will but the lawyer(not sure true or not) said the will was somewhat "incomplete"
so we are not particularly sure
just now when talking to the LHDN staff, after she asked, she called back and say if grand of probate surely need lawyer and some fee
whereas LA can do it in high court, she asked me to go to high court and ask the procedure...didn't mention also need a lawyer
if we need lawyer thn i think am gonna just let it go, just RM1k+ only...dn't feel like paying the lawyer anything anymore since paid like 10k to him already

i checked back the thing he charged us
there was "filing fee for petition for grant of letter of administration with will annexed - RM88"
thn below a few there is
"filing fee for grant of LA - RM212"
does this mean there is LA?..and i can get it from the lawyer?(a copy)

just wonderng for now. hope that wont happen
thank you sir

I need brainy lawyers help please.

I stay in condo.
My upper level unit pipe has leakage.
Causes serious water damage to my plaster ceiling.
According to some act the landlord upstairs should be responsible for fixing his units pipe and bear all the cost.
But he refuse to pay for the cost for fixing my ceiling saying no such law.

Lawyers, enlighten me please.

Are you in Semenanjung or Sabah/Sarawak? Because there is no such concept of "grant of letter of administration with will annexed" in S'jung.

If got will - GoP. If no will - LA.

How can LA with will annexed?

Anyway, my suggestion is to get this copy of the LA from the lawyer since 10k has been paid to obtain it. If nothing is done - complain!

This question has been posed and answered not too long ago in this thread. Look it up.

is it possible that for a direct purchase from the developer the selling price stated in the SPA is the gross selling price but the buyer pays the stamp duty at the nett selling price?

Hi Dario, you missed my question.
Just to add the condo is in K.L.
Thanks.

Sorry for missing that out. Yes you are right but I am not aware that it was effective 1 Jan 2012. As far as sale by way of assignment, consent is not required.

i'm in sabah BTW
not sure here got or not though
but the bill which stated what he charged us for have these details
there is a will of course but he say is somewhat incomplete, missing something
am gonna ask him for it though...morning got ask but hes not in...will ask him later

dario boss

for a freehold 8year old property with title, no lien, if the vendor decides to use the purchaser's lawyer , what are the risks involved?
assuming that the vendor has experience with S&P and is quite confident of vetting the draft before finalization..


risk of lawyer running off with the proceeds?

How did I, a nonbumi, was sold a bumi lot...and remained in the dark till I enquire about why the loan installments seemed to stall...
The lawyer said it was the developers who didn't sort out the titles properly and sold their property too hastily. The developer apologised and claimed the title will be changed soon. I am so confused by them and I just want my money back...

Dario Boss,
Just a question in regards to vacant possession from the developer whereby the title has not being issued and the sum due which also include the defects liability to be kept by the developer's lawyer as stakeholder. Will the purchaser's financier make this payment directly to the developer or to the developer's lawyer which handled the S & P? What about if the purchaser is a cash buyer?

About divorcing, Please help me! My girlfriend's mother decides to divorce with her husband. But I am not sure about father's side decision. They have married for 20+ years.

In my point of view, my gf's mother is right. The story goes like this: My gf's father is a drunkard, every quarrel starts by him. And he makes promises to be a better husband after each quarrel ends. But he never fulfill his promises. After drinking alcoholic drinks, he will take knife (not the small one) and point at his family member and ask them to admit they are wrong. LOL. And the list goes on...

With this, my gf and her mother had lodged a police report with pictures. And they are preparing steps to getting divorce.

But what they concern are, the mother doesn't work nor having a stable income. But all of her children want to follow her, not the father. There are 4 children, two are currently working. So who hold the higher chances of getting fostering right?

Risk is always there. In every case where the lawyer holds stakeholder monies the risk is there for the lawyer to abscond. How do you tell whether it is going to happen or not? Your guess is as good as mine.

If, as you said, "vendor has experience with S&P and is quite confident of vetting the draft before finalization" then you mitigate the risk , as all the clauses would be fairly balanced in the SPA.

1. Developer's lawyer as per the SPA.
2. Same as above. It will be kept by the lawyer as stakeholder.

Never heard of such things as gross and nett selling price in SPA.

You need to pay the loan lawyer to prepare the charge.

Hi,
Currently there is a project called vsummer place in JB.
Good location, good design.
But I was told by sales officer currently the developer still lack of 1 approval, so we just can book the unit by rm10k.
And do not need to apply loan first and sign s&p.
All we can do is wait for the developer get the approval from government first.
And the rm10k is issued to law firm, because developer have no right to keep for our money.

I never heard such case before. There are so many question marks in my mind.
It is very new developer, just second project in JB.

Rm600/sf in this area is considered reasonable, but is it too risky?

Thanks ur reply.
