Legal Fee Addendum
I recently secured a buyer for a probated property which has an open estate. The agreement stipulated that the buyer is to pay the attorney fees and closing costs. Assuming the title company could close the transaction of both seller and buyer, I was made aware that the seller's attorney would have to be involved in the seller's end of the transaction. Since, being in PA it's not required for an attorney to be involved in the closing through title company, the buyer, understandably doesn't want to be responsible for any of the seller's fees due to the estate & the original purchase agreement payment clause. What type of language should the addendum have to defer the attorney fees back to the seller?
