Same day she called us during an evening and told us that she don't have money to hire the lawyer!!

It seems like the only people bidding are the lawyers.

Assuming there was sufficient space and no setback issues, the old driveway right up to the property line could be removed and a new one constructed.Again, here's where a lawyer would be worth the money.

I have added it to my list of MANY questions to ask CPA's and Lawyers .

I agree that you need to lawyer up.

How would you protect yourself or explain your situation to your lawyer or Judge ?  

I'll be meeting with the lawyer soon to finalize everything and that's one of the questions I am going to ask about, what was the advantage of my relative doing corp for holdings versus llc.

Still waiting to hear back from our lawyer.

So I have to pay $8,000 in lawyers fees and back mortgage payments, $2,000 in make ready costs, plus closing costs, and assume a $98,000 obligation, plus presumably pay you some sort of assignment fee, to get a house worth $130,000 that rents for $1000 a month?

re: "using a contract, or none at all" and your trouble finding an agency...Are you trying to do this without lawyers on both sides?
