About 3 years ago, I had no clue what a deed of assignment is and its importance and foolishly paid omonile for a plot of land.

Now, I've realized my error and decided to get a lawyer to do the first thing I was supposed to do, which is making them sign the deed.

I'm to visit a lawyer after the holidays so he can help me prepare the transfer of ownership documents.

But this strange thought keep coming into my head, that what if they refused to sign it or ask me to repay for the land again.(I pray it never gets to this point tho)... but its just some weird thoughts of the wandering mind).

They aren't scams anyway and they only gave me a family receipt and I see them all the time and know their houses.

Has anyone been thru this kind of late signing of deed?

And in case they refuse (God forbid), what are my options and steps to make them sign it?

Will appreciate contributions or even experiences.

I was a bit naive, I'm sorry in advance.
