Why you heard about Lifetime Legal during your AML checks

If you are buying or selling a property, you will complete Anti Money Laundering checks as part of the process.

It is often during this stage that you first hear about Lifetime Legal.

This page explains why that happens, and how your membership connects to the AML process in a clear and straightforward way.

What are AML checks?

Anti Money Laundering checks are a legal requirement in property transactions. They are used to verify identity and confirm the source of funds involved in the transaction.

These checks help protect buyers, sellers and professionals by reducing the risk of fraud and financial crime.

They are a normal and necessary part of the moving process.

How Lifetime Legal connects to AML

Lifetime Legal works alongside the AML stage of your transaction.

When you complete your AML call, you are introduced to the Lifetime Legal membership. Once that call is complete, your membership begins automatically the following day.

There is nothing extra for you to activate. There is no separate sign-up process. Your membership simply starts from that point.

Why membership begins at this stage

The AML stage is often the earliest structured point of contact in a property transaction. It provides a natural opportunity to introduce legal protection and ongoing support.


Rather than offering a one-off service linked only to the move, Lifetime Legal is designed to continue beyond completion. It provides legal support, mover protection and access to a rewards platform that delivers everyday savings.


By starting at this stage, your protection and benefits are already in place while your move is progressing.
