My lawyer wants me to sign something but im not to sure?
So if my lawyer wants me to sign something can he give me time to tolerate others read the paper like my mom and my aunt because I dont want to sign something that i wont understand properly and i'm afraid that my advocate might trick me but my brother tells me i need to sign fast i dont enjoy time but i need a second opinon so what do you guys think?
NEVER sign something you do not understand. Yes give somebody a lift the time to check it out. If your lawyer insists on you signing now, tell him to sign his power of attorney over to you and see how promptly he does that. I'm not sure if you would want to sign something in a "hurry" even if it is your lawyer. It sounds to me as if your lawyer is trying to verbs a fast one on you.
Is this YOUR lawyer or some else in the family's lawyer? Regardless of whose legal representative it is, the fact that he is pressuring you to sign without a thorough explanation is a big red flag. Unless you are dying today, you don't need to "sign fast". Take a copy of the article to legal aid in your area and ask them for their explanation and belief as well as your mother's opinion. But while your mother's opinion is righteous to have, unless she is a lawyer, make sure you also enjoy the papers reviewed by a lawyer who specializes in wills, trusts, and taxes. A mistake can cost you big time in unnecessary taxes. When our brain is recounting us to wait, even if we don't know exactly why, it is usually a good idea to loaf. I agree with you. Never sign anything which you don't completely understand. If you need, ask him to allow you to clutch the papers with you to read and to get help recognition. You dont' have to say "I don't trust you." but you can say that you'd similar to to get more opinions, both professional and personal.
If you're not sure about it, ask him to explain it to you.
If you don't trust him, fire him. He works for YOU, not the other road around. You should no more continue to employ a lawyer that you don't trust than you would verbs to go to a doctor that you don't trust, or use a babysitter that you don't trust.
Unless there's a specific reason that he's able to explain to you, he should hold no problem letting you take it for review by a second lawyer if you want to. (I would NOT advise getting a second evaluation from someone other than a lawyer - like a mom or an aunt - because they are not trained to read official documents)
