How to confirm that the settlement amount is paid to the bank by a lawyer?
I have lost my job in the UAE. I am an Omani national and I am in Oman now. I have a bank loan and I asked a lawyer to reach a settlement with the bank.
The total loan outstanding is 600000dhs. He told me that they agreed to a 200k settlement along with the legal fees.
Now, I will give him that money. He will pay the bank lawyers directly and close the case. How can I be sure that they are not going to run away with this money?

Dear Questioner,
Please request your lawyer to share a copy of the settlement letter issued by the bank.
Once you receive it, you may cross-check with the bank and make the payment directly to the bank.
Once you pay, let your lawyer bring the clearance letter from the bank.
