tammy davis asked a question

I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT I BELIEVE I HAVE RAN INTO IS I WON’T LIE COMPLICATED. MY SISTER SOLD SOME LAND A WHILE BACK AND WHEN SHE SOLD THE LAND SHE SOLD IT TO HER EXHUSBAND. THEY WERE TRYING TO DRUM UP ENOUGH MONEY TO GET THEIR SON OUT OF JAIL. I HAD TO DEAL WITH THE EXHUSBAND DURING THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY BECAUSE HE AND SHE COULD NOT DO ANY BUSINESS TOGETHER. LONG STORY SHORT WE ALL THREE WENT TO THE LAWYERS OFFICE FOR MY SISTER TO SIGN THE DEED BECAUSE THE PROPERTY WAS SOLD. WHEN WE CAME OUT OF THE OFFICE THE EXHUSBAND SAID WHO DO I NEED TO MAKE THE CHECK OUT TO? MY SISTER AND I DISCUSSED IT IN FRONT OF HER EXHUSBAND, AND BECAUSE SHE HAD A BANK ACCOUNT OUT OF TOWN (WHERE SHE USE TO LIVE) WE DECIDED IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THE CHECK WAS WRITTEN OUT TO ME SO I COULD GET IT CASHED LOCALLY. AFTER I PUT THE MONEY IN THE SAFE DEPOSIT BOX I TOLD HER THAT I WAS GOING TO KEEP $2,500 OUT OF THE MONEY FOR TAXES FOR THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY BECAUSE I WAS THE ONE WHO HAD CASHED THE CHECK. I KNEW THAT I WOULD BE THE ONE WHO WOULD HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON THE MONEY FOR THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY. SHE IS NOW SAYING THAT SHE DID NOT AGREE FOR THE CHECK TO BE PUT IN MY NAME. AND, THAT I OWE HER $2,500 DOLLARS FOR THE TAXES THAT SHE THINKS WERE BUGUS (SHE DOESN’ BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE TAXES ON THE PROPERTY FOR IT BEING SOLD). I HAVE PROOF THAT I PAID $2,500 FOR THE TAXES ON THE LAND. I THOUGHT I DID EVERYTHING PERFECRLY LEGAL AND I HAVE HER EXHUSBAND FOR A WITTNESS. SHE SAYS SHE IS GOING TO SUE ME FOR FRAUD. CAN SHE DO THAT? IF I HAVE CONTACTED THE WRONG TYPE OF ATTORNEY COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT KIND OF ATTORNEY THAT I NEED. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP AND TIME.

SINCERELY,
