A: Basically don't do anything you don't want to do. If he persists, tell him to have his attorney (even if he doesn't have one) to draw up whatever documents they would want you to sign. When you get the papers, (which I doubt will ever come to you), if you did get papers - do NOT sign them. Instead, take them to an attorney and discuss with the attorney what you should do
