Or basically your out the security deposit if the tenant had paid one, she wouldn't owe 2..if your agent had failed to include that as part of the closing documents. 

Other share (50%) was owned by owners sister until she passed a few years ago, at which point the attorney at that time was given a part of the stake by previous co-owner (this is still in question as there was no will documenting this )C.

We used standard documents (deed of trust etc) that buyers and sellers in my area use for any closing.I seem to recall the closing person did not want to draft any notes/couldn't do it (technically was practice of law or something)...

Then the day or so before the closing their title company called me up (which I should have know was suspicious for them to call me because they do everything via email and portal submission) saying the email with the final documents is too big a file to send to you so just sign the signature pages I'm going to send to you and send them back to me via mail and it will be just as good because we sent you the same docs to review earlier.

Do the documents agree?
