So i talked to my lawyer today and tried to follow the steps in which he told me to take by calling the contractor and trying to take care of it before escalating the situation.
It didn't work i called him and he called me a stupid kid and that i don't know anything and i should shut up. Then i told him i changed the locks on the door and if he comes to the property again it will be considered trespassing which caused more yelling and swearing at me and that he will only talk to my dad or grandfather he then yelled some more and hung up
tom my dad is going to call him and tell him exactly what the lawyer said and see if he agrees with it.
The lawyer told me to offer him this
1)That i will keep 10% of the total of the project for 56 days after the completion date to make sure no liens are taken out on the property (liens can be taken out up to 45 days after the work is completed)
2) That the contractor and my grandparents go through the house and see how much work is left to do and we hold back that amount in till it is complete
3) That he signs a paper prepared by the lawyer stating that all subs are paid in full by the contractor and that he takes care of liens that are put on the house
(Note: #1 and #2 added together equals the total amount that he is due)
Edit: Highfive i know where u are coming from and they have already taken care of their will and are were in okay shape before this started my grandfather has been prescribed anti-depressants by his doctor for stress so this is taking a toll on them and that is 1 of the reasons i stepped in
