supposed to be closing on the house Monday coming up,

now the lawyer says there was a mistake in the

contract about the selling price, says we can still

possibly close monday, but she isnt sure.



Thats what I get for hiring a woman lawyer.

I think she is stalling because she has

something else to do Monday, I wish I could

fire her, but its too late at this time, just have to grin

and bear it.



So I spent the night cleaning up the vert for Rotorfest to take

my mind off things.

bastages! with lawyers it never goes according to schedule



mike

almost 2 months ago we got the 30th as the closing date, now

this ****. I was getting so anxious too.

they never ever go according to schedule

Oh trust me rob, ******* real estate agents are just as bad... snake oil salesmen.

Bill the attorney for the time spent in a Hotel. You had to vacate the residence, if they extend it, let them pay for it.

That is a material term of the contract. The validity of the contract could be compromised if it is incorrect. All lawyers are bound by a fiduciary duty to their clients. Honestly is at the base of that duty. If your attorney told you there is a problem with the contract I doubt she is deceiving you. If you want to fault her for something it should be not catching the problem earlier, assuming she had reason to know of it.



This is a common loss-loss situation that attorneys face when they notice a problem with a business deal. The options are as follows: (1) bring the problem to the attention of the parties-then everybody hates the lawyer for grinding the deal to a halt. (2) Let it slide-then the attorney is subject to mal practice liability and everybody hates the attorney when there is a problem down the road. Which option would you choose? Many lawyers have taken the risk and gone with (2) to please their clients. This has resulted in some of the largest securities fraud of our time.



With that said, I’m sorry you’re having a tough time and I hope it works out. Just remember lawyers have feelings too. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png

LOL we need a house attorney you want to spearhead the Nopistons.com Legal Council? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Thanks for the insight Chris, but how can the lawyer mess

up the selling price? She had the contracts for months now.

I pointed it out when I signed them months ago, and she mumbled something about they will be amended and not too worry about it.



Problem is the bank wont give final clearance on the loan

without the correct contract.

She never sent the title over to the mortgage company either.

She just sucks and I wish I could fire her and go to someone

else but its too late at this point.
