Role of a Lawyer in Property Transactions
|
|
Stakeholder Clause My buyer's lawyer requested for my lawyer to hold a part of my sale proceeds as stakeholder after completing the sale transaction of my property. Should I agree to this? Why?
This request from your buyer's lawyer is fairly common because you are liable to pay for all property tax up to the very day of the sale completion. To ensure that your buyer doesn't end up paying your property tax for you, you should agree to the request.
