Q: was offered sum of money to help relocate within 30 days. If the bank defaults on that agreement, do i have rights?
they said it would be paid to me 15 days prior to the 30 day date. That would give us 2 weeks put that money down as a deposit and move out of a house we have been living in for 7 years. (That is a lot of stuff!) But it is now 2 days past that promised date...Should we be granted an extension of when we have to vacate?

A:
If the bank has defaulted on their agreement to provide relocation funds, you do have rights. It's important to review any written agreement or correspondence you have with the bank regarding this promise. Documentation will be essential if you need to take legal action or negotiate an extension.
Since the bank promised to provide the funds 15 days prior to your move-out date and has failed to do so, you have grounds to request an extension on your move-out date. Contact the bank immediately to inform them of their breach of the agreement and request the relocation funds as initially promised. Explain the urgency and the impact on your ability to relocate within the given timeframe.
If the bank does not respond or refuses to comply, consider seeking legal advice to understand your options. An attorney can help you draft a formal letter to the bank and negotiate the extension or compensation you deserve. It's important to act quickly to ensure you have enough time to make the necessary arrangements.
