I went to see a lawyer today to look over the house swap agreement. Very scary. His focus is on protecting yourself, so he's all about what can go wrong - which is good. But there's so much that can go wrong. I know it's about making sure both sides are protected, but it sounds so unfriendly. Even making sure the other party is who they say they are, that they have ownership of the property, that they have employment and that they have good credit.
I don't think we need to do everything, but this weekend we'll have to go through and add some things and clarify some others. You want to trust people, but the truth is - especially when you meet them over the intarweb - you need to take some basic precautions and make some basic provisions to protect everyone. They don't know how irresponsible we are either.
