Well, look it this way!

You did not know how to make an informed decision. You engaged your attorney to clarify or enlighten you. This money is as good as spending money on the Habitat Magazine or going to a conference to learn more about the business.

So, it's the co-op's bill. The drafting of the contract is the buyer, but your decision cost you money and hopefully, someone will record the event for future admissions members. Otherwise, pass the lessons learned like Homer's books.

That's my opinion and how I would handle it!
