[WSBAPT] condo question

[jeffrey winter]

Martin,
 
I don't do condo work, but it seems to me that the safer route for you would be to refer them.  You may have inserted yourself in the liability chain by giving the form -- and if the legal has changed all (or was incorrect, for some reason, to begin with) the son may come looking to you for a remedy.  At the very least, perhaps a note to the father saying that you have provided a form for his review, but confirming that you are not representing him as to that matter and recommending he consult with someone who practices condo law to complete the document prior to recording.
 
I'm paranoid that way, though....

Folks,
 
    I was asked a reet question by a family where father 
wants to quitclaim his share of a condo to his son.  I answered the 
question but I think they wanted to do their own deed and I did not want to take 
on the work for a few dollars.  I gave him a form of qcd and based on my 
perusal of the deed that had granted title to the two of them I told them to use 
the same legal, which differed from all I could l see in inserting the unit 
number “unit 415” at the front of the full legal.  The deed was a pretty 
thing with a caption and in the caption it also suggested an abbreviation for 
the legal, which seemed to me inessential to validity.  Anyone heartily 
disagree and I will let them know that perhaps they should consult a real 
lawyer.
