Re: Merger of 2 American Legion Post and debt responsibility
you say there is a signed agreement between the parties. WHat does the agreement say about costs and expenses? Since there is a signed agreement (despite the fact that one of the parties had second thouhts AFTER it was signed) the terms of the agreement control. If no one signed, I would guess the attorney would have to figure out who to go after! (he would go after BOTH).
