Real Estate Dispute Resolution

Summary

If a property deed is untransferable due to unpaid taxes, consider contacting the mediator involved in the agreement, filing a complaint against your lawyer with the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission, or consulting another attorney for a second opinion. Legal aid services in Michigan may offer affordable assistance. Magistrates typically do not provide legal advice.

Hi Rob! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
Yes please
Hi Rob! Could you provide a bit more detail about your legal issue? That way, I can offer you the best information or guidance.
Ive been in a legal battle over my house. We finally came to an agreement through mediation. The deal was i paid $*,* and sign over a different piece of property i owned and then they would produce a deed to me. I followed through on my end. But they produced an untransferable deed because they didnt pay the taxes owed. My lawyer had me sign the agreement as if everything was good then after the fact i find out $*,* is owed in taxes still. What can i do? My lawyer is useless and has basically ghosted me
Hey Rob! That's definitely a frustrating situation. You might consider taking these steps:
- Contact the Mediator: If the agreement was reached through mediation, reach out to the mediator for advice.
- File a Complaint: Consider filing a complaint against your lawyer with the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission.
- Consult Another Lawyer: Getting a second opinion from another attorney might be beneficial.
Would you like to be connected with local lawyers who might be able to help further?
Someone told me to go to the court and speak to the magistrate and they would tell me how to proceed with the court and my lawyer being repromanded. Is that true?

Speaking to a magistrate for legal guidance is not typical. Magistrates oversee hearings but don't provide legal advice. Consider consulting another attorney regarding your situation and possibly filing a complaint against your current lawyer with the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission.
Ive already exhausted my funds fighting this for the past 3 years. Laeyers atound here are $* and hour plus and want thousands down
