Real Property
Purchase Agreement
California
What happens if a purchase agreement expires?
I recently entered into a purchase agreement for a property with a seller. The agreement had a specific timeline for when the purchase needs to be completed, but that timeline is quickly approaching and the purchase has not yet been completed. I am unsure of what happens if the purchase agreement expires and I would like to get more information from a lawyer on the potential implications of the agreement expiring.
Sarah S.
As long as you have an accepted offer the contract is valid and enforceable, regardless of the purchase agreement date; However, if there is a termination clause in the agreement or any language that might trigger termination after expiration, then the contract might be invalid. You need a lawyer to thoroughly review the contract.
Real Property
Quitclaim Deed
Georgia
Can a quitclaim deed be used to transfer ownership of a property without the consent of all parties involved?
I recently discovered that my ex-spouse, without my knowledge or consent, used a quitclaim deed to transfer our jointly owned property solely into their name. We had agreed to sell the property and split the proceeds, but they have now refused to do so, claiming full ownership. I would like to know if a quitclaim deed can be valid in this situation and if I have any legal recourse to regain my share of the property.
Jon F.
No. You would need to have every owner sign away on their ownership. There is no way to divest people of their property without them knowing absent some kind of fraud. The quitclaim deed doing what you described in the way you described it can be challenged and should be challenged successfully.
Landlord Tenant
Residential Lease Agreement
New York
Pets and residential lease agreements?
I am a tenant in a residential property and I am considering adopting a pet. The lease agreement does not specifically mention anything about having pets in the residence. I am looking to understand the legal implications of having a pet in the rental property and what my rights are as a tenant in this situation.
Paola R.
It depends on the type of premises(building) you reside. There are specific laws that are applicable even if the lease does not mention certain terms and provisions. Your rights as a tenant not only arise from the lease but also from certain laws. It also depends on the type of pet you are thinking of adopting, ie. service animal. I am a tenant’s attorney.
Real Property
Real Estate Purchase Agreement
New York
Can the seller back out of a Real Estate Purchase Agreement after signing it?
I am in the process of purchasing a property and have signed a Real Estate Purchase Agreement with the seller. However, the seller has recently expressed some concerns about the sale and is considering backing out. I am uncertain about the legal implications in this situation and would like to know if the seller has the right to do so after signing the agreement.
Damien B.
Hello! My name is Damien Bosco, Esq. My law office is in Long Island City, across from Manhattan. A seller's ability to back out of a real estate purchase agreement after signing it is generally very limited, as contracts for the sale of real estate are legally binding once both parties sign it. The seller's ability to back out typically depends on the specific contingencies outlined in the agreement. For instance, if the contract includes a contingency that hasn't been satisfied (e.g., the buyer's financing falls through), the seller may have grounds to terminate. You may want an attorney to review the Agreement to see whether there is a potential breach of contract claim. Feel free to reach out.
Real Property
Quitclaim Deed
Georgia
Obligations after receiving a quitclaim deed?
I recently purchased a home in a different state from the seller. The seller provided me with a quitclaim deed, but I am unsure of what my obligations are now that I own the property. I am concerned about potential legal issues that may arise and want to make sure I am taking the proper steps to protect both myself and the seller.
Bobby H.
Provided you have fully paid the purchase price, you should not have any further obligations as it relates to the Seller. This, however, may depend on whether there are specific terms in the sales agreement that survive the closing. Although your obligations as the new owner of the property to other persons largely depends on the state, in most, if not all states, you will be responsible for paying any taxes or assements to the state, county, or any municipality in which the propery is located subject to any qualifying exemptions. Also, most states impose a general duty on propery owners to avoid and/or discover and warn of certain risks of harm to any guests or persons invited by you to be present on the property depending on how the property is used (e.g., like whether the property is used for residential or commerical purposes). In some states, there may even be a similar, although limited duty to avoid or warn of certain risks of harm to trespassers on the property. A home or property owner's insurance policy will likely provide some protection with respect to the latter. Additionall, a quitclaim deed generally does not provide any protection for the purchaser if there's an issue with the title to the property. Therefore, an owner's title insurance policy may be advisable if you have not already obtained one.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
