What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
Hi - We are at the Closing stage of a business acquisition and the Closing Attorney's email was hacked. The scammer sent what looked to be a legitimate email from the Closing Attorney's email account and sent fraudulent wire instructions.
A wire was sent by my lender's bank to the fraudulent wire instructions and those funds are now gone. The Seller and I want to put in a claim to the Closing Agent's malpractice insurer. Do we have legal recourse since the Closing Attorney's email was hacked and fraudulent information was sent? What recourse do we have and what is the best way to proceed?
Thank you
