forced title deed problem

[darrow]

we have applied through our lawyer for our title deeds. we gave all our paperwork to our lawyer, which was not the lawyer who handled our original contract. we found there was a question over the final receipt to the developer. however we signed an affadavit to say we had paid in full for our property. we now have been told that the new receivers, (the developer went into receivership) have raised an objection based on not enough evidence to show that we have paid. is it likely our original lawyer should have proof that he paid the developer? he had power of attorney because we were based in U.K. at the time. all we had was an email confirming it was paid in full, which i already passed to our lawyer. we have a paper trail that accounts for the money but it doesn't show what it was actually used for of course. very worrying!

Hi Darrow

Unfortunately your affidavit isn't sufficient proof that you have paid. Your original lawyer should have details of the payments he made to your developer under Power of Attorney.
