I was also asked to do the same thing by Dorit many years ago. Most of the time, Dorit was reasonably pleasant to do business with (and paid a reasonable fee), but the excuse I was given for asking escrow to pay me the full amount, then send the difference to her, was something else altogether. It didn't feel right to me then - and still doesn't now. That doesn't make it right for that notary to keep both checks (if that's really what happened), but I suspect there's plenty of blame to go around... |
