Rescincion

[paracall]

What is the name of your state? Nevada. My girlfriend agreed to sell her house. She is a little naive and not experienced in business. She signed over the deed before payment was delivered. The buyer now refuses payment and has had us evicted. He is now in the process of selling the house. I have been told that we can sue "in equity", and our cause of action is "rescincion". The problem is our funds have been depleted by this matter and we need to find a lawyer who will take this case without a lot of money up front. The house is appraised at more than $350,000.00. What can we do?

Hurry, quick, do not delay, get a lawyer to file suit against the buyer for the money to the house, then have them record a lis pendens (lawsuit pending) and that will cloud the title and not allow the seller to get a title ins policy unitl the matter is cleared. Time is of the essence.

I am in the same boat as your girlfriend, can you please post what action she took and the results?

Thanks!

Did she sign anything or were there witnesses to the 'deal'?
