Strange.
Don't take that deal.

 

[HTacianas]

Somebody wants to buy me out of something we both own but refuses to tell me how much they are going to pay me until after I sign the paperwork handing the ownership over to them exclusively, basically using almost threatening language to tell me to sign the paperwork. That person has already had an appraisal done to know the value of the item and I have requested to see the results as I am responsible for half the cost of the appraisal. However, that person refuses to show me the appraisal and is using it as leverage to try to get me to sign the paperwork without telling me first how much the item is worth and a price of what they will pay me. What do I make of that and how do I stand strongly so that I don't get taken advantage of? Is this coercion?

You tell them no and that no one on earth would go along with that.

Don't take the deal, and if they wave the paper in your face, use a lighter.

What if anything does it say in the contract/agreement you made? Details regarding how the transaction is to take place should have been outlined in there .... whatever you agreed to (signed) in it is what is to take place.

Unfortunately, I can't afford a lawyer, it would be way too expensive. But thank God, the stubborn seller has become cooperative, thanks for the input, much appreciated.
