I was in the process of buying a short sale CT Hartford area until suddenly my realtor said the deal fell through due to the sellers lawyer putting a stop to it. My deposit was in, all offer paper work was signed, the seller signed and accepted the offer, and it was currently with the bank. How does this make sense? My realtor says that the lawyer is afraid the seller will have to come up with the difference of what he owes of the sale price. The agent and short sale attorney tried telling him that NEVER happens and he wouldn't budge. What would be his motives for this, would rather foreclose?

Sounds like a BK attorney, trying to convince the client to BK. IF what you say is true, I'd threaten him with a bar complaint, as the seller could always wait until the actual approval letter is reviewed, then reject if it doesn't include a waiver of the debt balance.
Yes a BK attorney. What is a bar complaint? I'll tell my realtor that, but by the sounds of it he just wants me to sign a termination contract on sellers behalf due to "advice from sellers attorney" and be done with it. I Just dont know why they want to let this sale fall through because the bank might come after the difference in money that he owes before his bankruptcy and after the deal is closed?
a BK makes sense, usually only if the seller has substantial other debts. But, a BK does eliminate the issue of income taxes that May be due after a short sale, if the MDRA isn't extended. A short sale can still be done after a BK, but the incentive is less.
No. If it gets foreclosed, your contract is irrelevant. If the bank gets it back at the FC, they will list it on the MLS at some point, and won't talk to you in the mean time.
