I would definitely use a lawyer to protect my interests. Using one to screw another party is a different story. I know there are some crooked banks out there, just got done dealing with one, who will screw borrowers at every opportunity, but, to me, that doesn’t excuse borrowers trying to screw them too.

You cannot trust banks in these kinds of dealings, you have to have a lawyer and you have to fight for your legal rights.
I sold a house and went through all kinds of problems because the bank just would not respond. I’d fax them paperwork and they’d lose it. I’d refax it and they’d acknowledge having it, and then lose it.
Every time they lose someones paperwork its a violation of privacy laws. Nobody is enforcing those laws and the banks sure do not care.
