The only way you’ll get money is if she writes you a check. I think she’s just blowing smoke and it’s not worth worrying about. I can’t see a lawyer actually taking on her case if she signed over a deed and has nothing in writing indicating any sort of payment agreement. I would wait for her to make the first move. If you like being on the safe side, maybe you could do a few free consults and get a feel of what the profession thinks. You may want to check the following link:
heres the problem, i received a single family from a relative as a gift, i transfered title and recorded it in the public records, i payed all fees to transfer the title
two months later my relative decides that she wants the property back and got a lawyer, she told the lawyer that i forced her to sign and that i agreed to give her 28k but
we have no contract stating this nor did i agree to this
now if i went to court is there any chance of her getting the property? or if i just return it is there a way to get the fees i put down to transfer the title and any other debt which was paid by me when i aquired the property.
brian, it’s hard to be sure what to advice without knowing the whole long story from both you and your relative’s side. However, if you have decided you are willing to give it back if your expenses are covered, I’d just tell that to your relative or tell the attorney. They’ll likely agree. Be sure they pay all the expenses for the transfer back, too.
tom thanks for answering, the deed was filed in the public records lets say i wanted to just give it back
and be done with it, is there a way for me to get the funds i put into transfering the title? or should i just get a lawyer to be on the safe side.
