Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

$5,000 to $6,000 just to amend deeds does not make sense. Either more to this is involved or something else is not right. Is it possible that by adding these people, this is treated like a "sale" of some kind and that fees are owed for transfer/realty taxes?

However, since you have an attorney, it is not fair to either your attorney or any attorney here to second guess the attorney doing the work. He or she has the documentation and nobody here does so any advice we can offer is speculation.

You need to ask your attorney why the cost is this much and to explain how the fees are calculated. If they truly are just charging exorbitant fees, then fire that attorney and find someone else.

You need to direct your question to a NY real estate attorney.
