Dennis Jewitt – wants to represent himself, there is no opposition, so why would he need a lawyer?
Joan Krantz – it’s an electronic system to register a deed. You must have a lawyer on
each end and must have a lawyer to register the deed.

Joan Krantz – it also depends on the names on the property.
