I have signed a TR1 document and a Charge document and they have been sent off to my ex's solicitor for my ex to sign both docs and then his solicitor sends them to the Land Registry to be registered. Both docs have important clauses that took ages to agree.
Trouble is after I have signed them I do not see them again. i.e I do not see them after my ex has signed them.
They have pulled all kinds of dirty stunts trying to insert unfair clauses that were not in the Court Order, but we eventually got the documents in line with the Court Order.
My fear is that my ex's solicitor may have tampered, altered wording etc: AFTER I had signed.
The documents aren't numbered Pg 1 of 3 etc: and on the TR1 doc there is a page that comes AFTER the signature page that contains clauses vital for my protection. If that page were to accidently become detached and lost there would be no way of knowing.
Would a solicitor be likely to do that?
Would he be risking getting into serious trouble?

I am not a solicitor but the Law Society would frown on such unethical behaviour and take action if this happened.
I have reported more than on solicitor as part of my job and they really hate having the investigators in.

Sounds like REALLY bad legal work to me.
It's standard practice to have every page numbered and intitialed, and to have nothing after the signature page unless that extra page is also signed.
