Dorchester, MA asked in Real Estate Law for Massachusetts

Q: I’m taking my seller to small claims over non disclosure. She also never disclosed she’s a realtor. Can I sue her lawyer

I’m suing for non disclosure of a faulty major appliance, not disclosed during settlement nor was the appliance fixed during a 2 month rent back agreement period.

A: Why do you want to sue the lawyer? Did he/she make any false statements or refuse to disclose the faulty major appliance when he would have been expected to? If not, I do not see the basis for a suit against the lawyer. Also, if you had an inspection of the premises that would have disclosed the faulty major appliance, the seller can use that as a defense. Good luck.
