Default Advice needed on completion of my pt house purchase.

Hi all,

I have just received an e-mail from my lawyer to say that I should be
completing on my pt house purchase in about one week. She has sent me her
bank account details and is asking me to send her, the money to cover the costs
related to the purchase, her own fee, and the balance due for the purchase of
this house. She says that she will pay the vendor at the moment of the deed
signing.

"My question is this! While I have no problem with sending her the
money to cover the purchase costs along with her own fee, should I be
concerned by her request for the full balance due on the purchase price also ???
Or is this normal procedure here ? I would much prefer to just turn up at the
signing with a cheque from my bank and just pay the vendor in person.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Confused.
