What is the name of your state?Pennsylvania . I have a cousin that has gone thru a divorce.During this time, the lawyer she hired died.She was given another lawyer from the firm.She needs the deed to refinance her house.Her lawyer refuses to fax or mail the original to the bank.He insists they come to his office for the closing.He is not needed for the closing but is demanding the balance of his fee approx.($4000 which we refuse to pay )be taken from the houses equity. Can he withhold the deed to force my cousin to pay?
