"I had the pleasure of working with Laura B. on some recent legal matters, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough. From start to finish, Laura was professional, responsive, and incredibly efficient. What really stood out to me was how thorough and proactive she was — she didn’t just check the boxes, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was done properly and on time. Legal work can feel overwhelming, but Laura made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She explained everything clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and stayed one step ahead the entire way. I never had to chase her for updates — she was always on top of it, which gave me a ton of peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who combines legal expertise with such a down-to-earth, approachable style. I felt like I was in really good hands the whole time. I’ll absolutely be working with Laura again for any legal needs that come up in the future, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a sharp, dependable, and genuinely helpful attorney."

Commercial Building Lease

California

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

What's CAM charge in a commercial lease?

I am currently negotiating a commercial lease for a property where I plan to operate my business. As part of the negotiation process, the landlord has mentioned the concept of a CAM (Common Area Maintenance) charge, which I am unfamiliar with. I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to better understand what a CAM charge is, what it covers, and what my responsibilities as a tenant would be in relation to this charge.

Paul S.

Answered Mar 21, 2023

CAM charges are for common area maintenance. For example, in an office building, CAM charges are for maintaining the lobby, elevators, corridors, and outside areas (such as the parking lot). If you are looking at renting a space, the landlord should be able to provide you with CAM numbers for that space for the past several years, so you know what to expect.

Escrow Services Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 13, 2024

What are the legal obligations and potential risks involved in using escrow services for a real estate transaction?

I am currently in the process of purchasing a property and my real estate agent has recommended using an escrow service to ensure a secure and smooth transaction. However, I have heard conflicting information about the legal obligations and potential risks associated with using escrow services. I want to make sure I fully understand the legal implications and any potential risks involved before proceeding with this option.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 11, 2024

Hello! Welcome to contractscounsel.com. So in your case, using an escrow service in a real estate transaction is super common as it helps facilitate a secure and smooth transfer of property ownership. In an escrow arrangement, a neutral third party holds the funds, documents, and other assets until all terms and conditions of the sale are met, ensuring that neither the buyer nor the seller is at risk of losing money or property if the other party fails to fulfill their obligations. They are basically a middleman. One of the main legal obligations when using escrow is adherence to the terms outlined in the escrow agreement. Both parties must comply with the instructions provided in the contract, including deadlines for deposits, inspections, and disclosures. The escrow company is legally bound to act according to the instructions from the buyer and seller and can only release funds or documents when all conditions are met. If a dispute arises, the escrow company may require mutual agreement or a court order before taking any action, which could delay the process.

Potential risks of using escrow services include issues related to the service provider's reliability and the risk of fraud. It's important to choose a reputable and licensed escrow company to minimize risks. In some cases, fraudulent companies may present themselves as escrow services, taking advantage of unsuspecting buyers or sellers. I would verify with others in the field or even friends and family, in addition to doing your own research online to sniff out any scams. Best of luck! Dolan

Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 21, 2024

Can a seller back out of a purchase agreement after accepting an offer?

I recently entered into a purchase agreement to buy a house, and the seller accepted my offer. However, just a few days later, the seller informed me that they have changed their mind and no longer want to sell the property. I have already made arrangements for financing and I am concerned about my rights as a buyer. Can the seller legally back out of the purchase agreement after accepting my offer?

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 29, 2024

I'm so sorry about this situation! So legally speaking, the answer is no. Under California law, a breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill a legal duty the contract created and causes damages for the plaintiff. (California Civil Jury Instructions Number 303.) The measure of damages is the amount that will compensate the aggrieved party for all the detriment caused thereby or likely to result therefrom. (Cal. Civ. Code § 3300.) You may also seek specific performance of the agreement, too. You have some options you can explore: You can send them a demand for performance or some financial compensation. I have a template letter you can use here - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/119 Otherwise, you can file a lawsuit in your local court. If you’ve already sent a bunch of letters, then the truth is this is the only way to compel them to do anything. Best of luck!

Purchase and Sale Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 5, 2023

When to sign a purchase and sale agreement?

I am in the process of purchasing a property and need to know when I should sign the purchase and sale agreement. I have been given an offer from the seller and have been told that I need to sign the agreement in order to move forward with the purchase. I am concerned about signing the agreement too soon and have questions about the timing and what risks I may be taking if I sign before I am sure I am ready.

Myrna L.

Answered Sep 24, 2023

If you are not ready to buy a property, it is only fair not to waste sellers’ time who are trying to sell their property. If, however, you are ready to buy a property but is concerned about unforeseeable risks, you can mitigate or eliminate your risks by spelling out contingencies in your Purchase and Sales Agreement. If the conditions or contingencies are not met, you do not have to go through with the deal.

Trust Deed

California

Asked on Dec 23, 2024

Can a trust deed be revoked or modified after it has been established?

I recently inherited a property that was placed in a trust deed by my late father, who named me as the beneficiary. The trust deed was established several years ago and outlines specific conditions for the distribution of the property. However, I am now considering making some changes to the property, such as adding an additional structure or dividing it into separate lots. I am wondering if it is possible to revoke or modify the trust deed to accommodate these changes, or if I am bound by its original terms.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 31, 2024

Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm happy to answer your question. If your father placed the property into trust and has passed, it's important to look at the trust terms to see if the trustee has any authority to transfer the property over to you. If there is no authority for that, then you have to determine whether the property requires the trustee to approve modifications or if your dad gave you the right to make these improvements yourself. Nevertheless, when a person dies, the trust becomes irrevocable, so modifications or revocations are not permitted. Revocations are allowed if something happens like you die and there is no backup beneficiary or if the property is condemned by the state,for example. Otherwise, you have to look at the trust terms and/or speak to the trustee. We can always review these things for you here on the site. Thanks again!
