My husband and his ex-girlfriend have finally come to an agreement about a house the co-own. The house has been in forclosure for the past 3 months, and his ex has been fighting him about selling it. Long story short, she went to a lawyer who is also a broker. The lawyer contacted us and my husband and his ex have agreed to put it up for sale and split the profit. We have to go to his office today to sign papers. My question is should we trust this guy not to pull anything shady, and should we bring our own lawyer? The lawyer has a document stating that we agree to sell the house for $55,000. cash and split the money. There is also an agreement of sale document, consumer notice, and listing contract. The lawyer told us that we could go into settlement as early as the 27th. As long as we read each document before we sign it and understand everything, will everthing be ok? Should I have someone else look over the documents for us instead? The reason I am being so unsure about this is because his ex was trying to get my husband to sign the whole house over to her telling us she was just gonna sell it to break even and so our credit wouldn't get messed up. We don't trust her, so should I trust the lawyer? He told me that technically since he is a broker he is working for the sellers which is my husband and his ex, so we have to watch out for something stating transfer of ownership right? What should we look out for? Thanks so much if you could help me! Our appointment is for 4:45 today! |
