We sold our house 7 years ago. We were moving across the country. Our House closed on schedule while we were driving across the country. Over a year later we were told by our layer that the buyers lawyer mistakenly wired an extra $10,000 into our account. The buyers lawyer never contacted us until we recieved notice we were being sued for the $ Six years later. His mistake, do we have to return the $, and if not, what is our defense. They are claiming breech of contract, but the house closed and there was transfer of property. They are also claiming "Unjust enrichment" and "Conversion" What should we do?
Did not know about the $ before the Lawyer contacted us
