对方律师要求10天后过户？我们说“不”！

大家好，

昨天我们的一个地产案件发生了一个非常离奇的事情。大约在下午五点钟，我们突然收到开发商律师发来的通知，通知内容是：“10月11号你们要过户了，你们准备好了吗？”

这个通知让我们整个地产团队都非常震惊，因为我们从头到尾都不知道有这样的安排。而且，10月11号过户对我们的客户来说后果很严重。客户是贷款购房，如果今天才收到通知，银行根本来不及调整，这就会导致客户面临违约的风险。因此，弄清楚这份通知是什么时候到达我们律所的，以及是否存在双方的疏忽，是非常重要的。

我和同事翻遍了整个邮件记录，发现从未收到过这封邮件。而对方律师却声称已经寄出。我们再次检查了所有收件记录，依然没有发现任何相关信息。这让事情变得十分混乱：到底是对方的问题还是我们的问题？

我们迅速给对方律师发了一封邮件，说明从头到尾都没有收到任何通知，并要求他们提供寄送邮件的证明，比如 FedEx、UPS 或者挂号信的寄送记录。如果无法提供这些证明，我们不承认10月11号的过户时间。我们在下午5:45发出了这封邮件，但对方一直没有回复。

我们尝试打电话，但始终无法接通。当天工作结束时，大家都非常焦虑，晚上也没有睡好。

今天早上，我们终于收到了开发商律师的新邮件，对方提供了他们声称的“9月11号”发送的过户通知的原件。我们一看，发现一个明显的问题：邮件地址错了！我们的律所邮箱是“zenglawgroup”，而他们的邮件地址少了一个字母“g”。这就是为什么我们没有收到邮件的原因。

随后，我因为有另一个客户的电话预约，就请同事跟开发商律师联系。我打了三通电话：

第一个电话中，接线员态度很好，表示会和他们的客户确认过户时间并给我们一个新的日期。

第二个电话，我要求找到负责这个案件的律师，但对方说抄送在邮件里的三位同事都不在：两位不在办公室，另一位名叫 Nicole 的律师正在休产假。

第三个电话中，我请求接线员提供他们的邮箱地址，并发了一封邮件作为书面记录，要求他们重新发送新的过户时间，并请负责案件的律师与我们确认。

十分钟后，我们终于收到了新的过户日期，现定为10月31号。

Hello everyone,

Yesterday, something very strange happened to one of our real estate cases. Around 5 pm, we suddenly received a notice from the Sponsor attorney stating, “You are scheduled for closing on October 11th. Are you prepared?”

This notice shocked our entire real estate team because we had no prior knowledge of such an arrangement. Moreover, closing on October 11th would have severe consequences for our client, who has a mortgage. If notified today, their bank wouldn’t have enough time to adjust, putting our client at risk of default. Thus, it was critical to determine when this notice reached our office and whether it was our or the Sponsor's oversight.

My colleague and I went through our entire email history and found no record of receiving such an email. However, the Sponsor attorney claimed they had sent it. We double-checked all records but still found nothing. This turned into a major misunderstanding: Was it their fault or ours?

We quickly sent an email to the Sponsor attorney stating we had never received the notice and requested proof of email delivery, such as FedEx, UPS, or certified mail records. Without such proof, we would not acknowledge October 11th as the closing date. We sent the email at 5:45 pm, but the Sponsor side didn’t respond.

We tried calling them, but couldn’t get through. At the end of the day, we were all anxious and didn’t sleep well last night.

This morning, we finally received a new email from the Sponsor attorney, providing what they claimed to be the original closing notice sent on September 11th. Upon reviewing it, we immediately noticed an obvious issue: the email address was incorrect. Our firm’s email is “zenglawgroup,” but their email omitted the letter “g.” This explains why we never received the notice.

Later, I had another client call scheduled, so I asked my colleague to follow up with the Sponsor attorney. I made three calls:

During the first call, the person who answered was polite and said they would confirm the closing time with their client and provide us with a new date.

In the second call, I requested to speak with the attorney handling this case. However, I was informed that none of the three attorneys copied in the email chain were available: two were out of office, and the third, Nicole, was on maternity leave.

In the third call, I asked for the email address of the person answering and sent them an email to establish a written record, requesting a new closing date and confirmation from the attorney responsible for this case.

Ten minutes later, we received a new closing date, now set for October 31st.
