Re: settlement

The matter is too complicated and must be reviewed by an attorney. The agreement of sale must be reviewed. In Pennsylvania the common practice is to share equally the payment of the transfer tax. That can be altered in the agreement of sale.

Seek legal advice to address your concerns. Gerald Hershenson Esq.
