I guess these lawyer things are a necessary evil. I just hate to have to use them. Besides costing money, the ones I've used just never get things right. Gave my BIL a small piece of property in MS. Contacted the MS lawyer who we used to help settle mom's estate 3 years ago. He knew the circumstances, had all the paperwork, so it should be easy. He did get paperwork right, but then emailed my brother the documents, not me. While I don't have any problems with my brother knowing about the transaction, it really is none of his business and I'd have preferred to let him know myself at the time if my choosing.
Then the lawyer sends paperwork to my BIL and copy to me saying the taxes were still owed. Paperwork dated Jan 16th. His tax doc he printed was December 12th, and I paid them before the end of the year. Too lazy to reprint or even check online. So my BIL was trying to pay what has been paid. (He got letter on the 17, me today)
Just hate having to use them.
