Re: amendment to residental contract of sale
There is no legal requirement that you be represented by an attorney at the time a real estate contract is entered into.
Whenever you enter into any type of contract, you should at least have a lawyer look it over. You now see what trouble you can get yourself into.
Perhaps there are ways around it-even now.
