Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Arkansas
recovery of legal fees caused by a situation not of our doing
A man used his mother's power of attorney to deed himself our property. 15 acres. He & His atty used a 1940 deed and just signed everything to him.. We are out $500 to have our atty make them correct this. How can we recover our legal fees? We only learned of his actions by accident or we could have had real problems. He is not a very ethical or moral person...only greedy .

Re: recovery of legal fees caused by a situation not of our doing
The best way to attempt to get this money back is to have your attorney try to get it back when he gets the deed fixed. I don't know what you are having to go through to get this done, but, if you go to court, that is the time to ask the judge for a judgment for attorneys fees.
