Heading: Mrs Varner checks the Court Record

Text: Given her lack of confidence in Respondent, Mrs. Varner went to the courthouse to find out what action, if any, Respondent had taken on her behalf. In early May 2004, she discovered the order that authorized Respondent to sign the closing documents if she did not appear at the closing for the sale of her house. The motion, dated May 6, 2004, requesting the appointment of Respondent contained the following statement, He [Respondent] agrees that the sale of the home is in his client's best interests and acknowledges his client's potential risk to be cited for contempt if the transaction is not completed because of his client's actions. [16] In fact, Mrs. Varner had sent a certified letter to Respondent on May 4, 2004, stating that she intended to attend the closing. [17] Although Mrs. Varner advised Respondent that she intended to attend the closing, she was not willing sign any document that stated, all proceeds were payable to Respondent. [18]
