23 January 2009 Receiving one Cheque in the name of either Father or Son or Both is a matter of convenience and understanding between Father and Son

The Buyer should however in his own interest issue two seperate Cheques or obtain written affidavit of the second one for issuing one consolidated Cheque in the name of one only

In any case, for capital gains compuation purpose, their respective shares should be taken into consideration
