Q: I have purchase with sellers who used their attorney as escrow agent. They refuse to show me escrow statements in fl?
Attorneys are trying to get me to sign a cancellation where sellers (who are holding the escrow and not attorneys) will keep my emd. Sellers never disclosed septic, electrical and structural damage and I found out from code enforcement that they were cited in 2011. Sellers also made false claim to fema for the structural damage. I have all texts where seller claims to have no knowledge and later claims he knew it wasn't hurricane related. My emd is not in escrow as stated in contract. Escrow agent/attorney is now representing seller. There is a 2000 sq ft deck that was painted before we moved in on a lease/purchase which is coming apart, rotting and caving in. Seller is a retired judge. Please advise?

A lawyer is involved on the other side. You need to hire your own lawyer to deal with this situation.
This is way more complicated than this site is designed for.
