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 Estate Sale Agreement
Massachusetts
Can a seller back out of a Real Estate Sale Agreement after signing it?
I recently entered into a Real Estate Sale Agreement with a seller to purchase a property. However, a few days after signing the agreement, the seller expressed their desire to back out of the deal. They claim that they received a better offer from another buyer. I'm wondering if the seller has the right to do this, or if I have any legal recourse to enforce the agreement and proceed with the purchase of the property.
Moss S.
It all depends on the contingencies that are contained in the agreement. Some of those contingencies include an inspection, financing, title defects and more. I would have to review the agreement to let you know precisely what rights that you have to terminate the transaction.

Purchase Contract
New York
Can a seller back out of a purchase contract after accepting an offer?
I recently made an offer on a property and the seller accepted it, and we signed a purchase contract outlining the terms and conditions of the sale. However, a few days later, the seller informed me that they have received a higher offer from another buyer and now want to back out of our agreement. I am wondering if the seller has the legal right to do so, and if not, what options do I have to enforce the purchase contract and proceed with the sale?
Arthur S.
A contract "purchaser" has definite rights under its contract to purchase the property. The contract is binding on both parties. Every contract is different...and some do contain provisions entitling either part to terminate the contract on the occurrence of certain events or prior to the expiration of certain time period,,,,but it would be unusual for a contract to entitle a Seller to terminate in the absence of Purchaser's breach or the occurrence of a specified event. Assuming your contract (i) does not entitle your seller to simply walk away from his obligations under the contract simply because he no longer wants to sell to you (in this case, because he received a higher offer), and (ii) does not prohibit the commencement by you of a "specific enforcement" action to force your Seller to transfer title to you in compliance with the contract enforce, then, and in such event, you are entitled to commence an immediate action to specifically enforce your rights under the contract. Further, concurrently with the commencement of such action, you are also entitled to immediately file a "lis pendens" against the property pending the outcome of your action. A lis pendens is a notice to the world (filed against the property) that you have commenced an action to enforce your contract....and anyone acquiring title to the property after the filing of the lis pendens does so subject to your superior right to title acquire title. The filing of a lis pendens is a very powerful tool and effectively tells all other prospective buyers of the property that they would be doing so at their own risk.

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.

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.
