Because it’s a bit of a rooky error tbh. (Unless she didn’t give the lawyers the full facts of course - that’s an age old argument between client and lawyer. “You gave me bad advice”/“You didn’t tell me the facts”)
To me the more interesting question isn’t that, it’s about the intentionality of selling her interest to the trust a few months before. Did she do that in order to be able to tell some conveyancing solicitor that she didn’t own another property? In other words, was this a deliberate combination of transactions as an overall plan to save tax?
