Re: Purchase Agreement of a Mobile home.

I assume that your son-in-law has the title of the home and that he is paying the lot rent. It sounds like under the circumstances, you should have an attorney representing your interests and sue for punitive damages. If you would like me to represent you, I would be glad to take a look at the case. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] / www.lawrefs.com.
