Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
downpayment on a home
back in 1997, my sister and myself built a duplex together. The mortgage is in my sister and her husband's name, however, the down payment on the property was supplied by just my husband and myself. now we would like to build something of our own, and are looking to get back the money for the down payment from my sister and her husband. We put down on the duplex 16,000.00 and would like to know if we have any legal recourse to recapturing this money. We have no legal documents to show the down payment, but do have bank records to show the money going to my sister for the house. What are our options, if any? please advise. thank you.

Re: downpayment on a home
An attorney would need to review the documents.
For example, you did not mention whose names
were on the deed. From the information you\giave,
it appears you may have a cause of action
against your sister for reimbursement. However,
an attorney would need to know have a lot
more information. Even then, he or she would
only be able to express an opinion as your
sister may have a different version of the facts.
I strongly suggest you seek the advice of
an attorney in your area who is experience
in real estate law.
