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.

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.

Quitclaim deed vs. title transfer?
I recently purchased a property and am in the process of transferring the title. I am trying to understand the difference between a Quitclaim deed and a title transfer. I am looking to make sure I am making the best decision for my situation when transferring the title of the property.
Linda W.
A Quitclaim Deed is a form of title transfer as is a Warranty Deed and a Special Warranty Deed. Quitclaim Deed – provides the grantee with the least protection; it contains no promises or warranties, and only conveys whatever title and interest the grantor has. A quitclaim deed makes no assurance that the grantor actually has an ownership interest in a property; it merely states that if the grantor does, they release those ownership rights. Quitclaim deeds are typically used to transfer property in non-sale situations, such as transfers of property between family members. Warranty Deed - makes a promise to the buyer that the seller has good title to the property. A quitclaim deed, on the other hand, makes no promises.

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.

Massachusetts
Breaches of a purchase and sale agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a property and have recently signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement. However, I am concerned that the Seller may be in breach of the Agreement, and I am seeking legal advice regarding my rights in this situation. Specifically, I would like to know what remedies are available to me if the Seller does breach the Agreement.
Moss S.
The usual remedy for a Seller breach of a Purchase and Sale Agreement is known as specific performance. That means that you could sue the Seller to force him to complete the sale of the property. To see if there are any other remedies, I would have to review the agreement.
