| 1436401 | 2017-06-12 01:21:00 | I somewhat doubt the advice of “Lawyering up” being the answer. lawyering up is the ONLY advice in this case. She has allready lawyered up. Sounds like her lawyer is going after as much as possible. He now has no choice unless he wants to get reamed . to add to the mess, and it sounds like a mess "her name is still on the deed for the house" "2014 she moved up north got a job. She still paid the half the mortgage. " Lawyer up, but try & sort it as quickly as poss . |

The reality is that you can engage the most most expensive Law Firm and not get a cracker more than the Court says you’re entitled to. A chat with the local Citizens Advice Bureau for starters may prove more worthwhile. ;) |

If they make sure to be reasonable about things, they can keep the legal fees to a min. I know some just use deep pockets to engage in lengthy legal battles , knowing the other side will run out of money to pay their lawyer & give up & accept the worst It doesnt cost that much to go to a lawyer, just to get some initial advice . CAB arnt the best for legal advice (from experience) , unless you go on a day CAB have a lawyer onhand for free legal advice. Since there is a house involved, lawyers will need to be involved regardless . |

If there are lawyers at one end already, you pretty much need to get one. |

| 1436405 | 2017-06-12 07:11:00 | You dont need a lawyer at all, let the cow do all the lawyer work for you. Say you will sign what they put in front of you, but say you dont understand it and are signing under duress. This will get the agreement you want. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1436406 | 2017-06-12 22:59:00 | You dont need a lawyer at all, let the cow do all the lawyer work for you . Say you will sign what they put in front of you, but say you dont understand it and are signing under duress . This will get the agreement you want . thats not how duress works duress is being forced to sign under pressure , when you dont have any choice but to sign . eg . when towies say they wont give your illegally towed car back unless you pay , thats duress . :) To go to court to argue duress, after signing away , thats the cheap option isnt it . That option is only $10K+ in legal costs :waughh: If you say you are signing under duress, the other lawyer will simply say, " go & get legal advice" . If you choose NOT to get a lawyer, then thats on you . Its your choice not to get legal advice, its not duress . Take the consequences if you go down that path, he has a lot to loose , and will be VERY expensive to try & reverse any agreements/court decisions . How will the guy know if he's being screwed, if he doesnt get legal advice . Lawyers can also advise him to pull his head in if he's expecting to get away with paying out b&gger all . That alone is worth the legal fee . We are talking about a house , there will be alot of money involved . Why take the risk ? |

| 1436408 | 2017-06-13 06:46:00 | Not so squire, the two lawyers go at each other to drag it out and increase billing times. Remember in NZ these lawyers all know each other from law society meetings etc. The females lawyer will not be going for a fair deal but the best deal for her. It would take a mega retard to not know when the deal is stacked against you on paper. With you not taking legal advice the lawyer of the opposing side knows he can not take advantage of you with out risk of a complaint. You will get fair deal and not even have to pay for the legal bill. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1436409 | 2017-06-13 07:18:00 | She sent him this before the lawyer . Hi, Can you please confirm a couple of things from your txt message? You have requested that I stop paying for the house . What arrangements will be made in the interim? Are you wanting us to put the property on the market or are you wanting to make an offer to purchase? If you are wishing to make an offer a registered valuation will be required . I am happy to organise this . I would be happy with either option . Our agreement is that you would cover the cost of having the roof fixed until the house was no longer in joint names and that you would be repaid in full upon settlement . The invoiced amount for the repair of the roof should be deducted from any proceeds from the sale of the house and the remainder divided equally . Any other improvements you have completed, including the kitchen floor and painting you have mentioned, have been done without my knowledge or agreement and are solely at your own cost . Can you also clarify what you mean by my stuff? I am aware that there is still some small personal effects in the property - Are you referring to these or the furniture as well? |
