Selling a house can be difficult. It can be even more difficult when you decide to sell your home to a family member. Remember, even if you are selling your home to a person in your family, you need to have legal representation. Your family member may not purposely trying to cost you money or get you into any financial or legal bind, but it could easily happen. My grandmother just went through this when selling her home to my cousin. They ended up getting caught up in court because my cousin would not do what needed to be done to rectify the situation. After several months and hiring an attorney, everything is finally settled and my grandmother has been paid. Hopefully, the information on my site can help your family avoid the messy situation that selling a home without the assistance of a lawyer can cause.
