Good day

I need to know what to do?  In a nutsell, my partner and I sold our house whice we owned 50/50.  Profit payout information sheet was signed by both of us and indicated that all prifits gets paid out to my partners account and because of a trusted friendship of many years we agreed that he will pay my 50% bsck into my account in order to keep process easy and simple. About a month before registration another property of ours was sold with another lawer on a similar basis. After registration my parner took all profits and cut all communications with me. 

Immediately I contacted the secound housev lawyer's and canceled payout informations. This was acknowledged several times by the lawer aswellbas his secretary in writing and verbally over the phone. In fact they asked me for new instructions over email which was granted and acknowledged by both of them. 4 weeks later upon registration, the money was paid all into my partners account which resides overseas. 

At this stage the lawers refuse communication with me and refuse to take responsibility for their wrong doing. Myself suffered and still going many losses as that money was to be used for two businesses of one I lost due to this and the other going into dept by the day due to this. Personally my personal life is suffering directly also due to this. 

Please advise what are my options as both parties fall back now claiming they just folloelwed origional pay out instrucktion

Regards

Estienne
