Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers
Real Estate
Purchase And Sale Agreement
Texas
Does Texas have any specific real estate rules?
I am moving from California and wanted to see if there is anything I should know.
George O.
Like any state, Texas does have rules specific to transactions occurring within its state lines. For example, the Texas Property Code governs most real estate matters, along with Landlord/Tenant matters. However realtors and transactions of that nature are governed by the Texas Occupations Code, which seems odd, but that is how it is.

Options Contract
Pennsylvania
Can you draft a real estate option agreement that is legal in PA and NY?
Hi, My name is Shawn Mallett. I am a real estate marketer and seller that is not real estate salesperson licensed. Can you confirm whether or not it is legal for me to utilize an option to purchase contract with a seller/wholesaler with the intention to sell and assign the contract (with the seller knowing this intention) rather than the intention to close on it myself? How much would you charge to confirm the legality of the following contract in both PA and NY and make the appropriate changes if needed? Option to Purchase Real Estate Agreement Date: 06/21/2021 This option agreement is entered between the Parties, Optionor(s) and Optionee(s), below in consideration of and subject to the following terms and conditions. 1.

Quitclaim Deed
Ohio
Precautions before signing a quitclaim deed?
I am a homeowner and I am in the process of selling my house. My buyer has requested that I sign a quitclaim deed. I understand that this deed will transfer my interest in the property, but I want to understand the legal precautions I should take before signing this document. I want to make sure that I am fully protected and do not have any legal liabilities after signing the quitclaim deed.
Jeffrey K.
A quitclaim deed conveys the sellers ownership interest in the property to the buyer with no guarantees of clear title to the property. In contrast, a warranty deed guarantees to the buyer that the seller holds clear title to the property. From a seller’s perspective a quitclaim deed is preferable in that the seller is not providing a warranty of clear title to the buyer. A warranty deed protects the buyer against title defects and is thus preferable to the buyer. If your buyer is getting a owner’s policy of title insurance, that would be sufficient to protect the buyer from defects in title.
Real Estate
Purchase And Sale Agreement
Texas
Purchase and sale agreement and appraisals?
I recently entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for a property I am interested in buying. I understand that appraisals are generally required for a Purchase and Sale Agreement, but I am unsure of how they are conducted and what the process for obtaining an appraisal is. I am looking to better understand the appraisal process in respect to a Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Michael A.
An appraisal is merely a professional opinion of value. In regards to a purchase and sale agreement, lenders usually require a 3rd party professional opinion of value of the property being purchased.
Real Estate
Quitclaim Deed
Georgia
Are there risks in accepting a quitclaim deed?
I recently inherited a property from my aunt and I am considering transferring ownership to my cousin using a quitclaim deed. I have heard that there are some risks associated with this type of deed, and I wanted to make sure that I understand all of the potential implications before making a decision. I am looking for advice on how to proceed in a way that is most beneficial for all parties involved.
Bobby H.
There are generally three broad categories of deeds mostly used to convey property in Georgia, depending on certain warranties, or the lack thereof, contained therein. These categorizes include warranty deeds, limited warranty deeds, and quitclaim deeds. In a warranty or general warranty deed, the grantor generally warrants title, and promises to defend the grantee against third party title claims that either arose, or which are based on events occuring at anytime during the grantor's ownership of the property OR the ownership of any of the grantor's predecessors in title. In a limited warranty deed, a grantor generally warrants and promises to defend the grantee against title claims which arose, or which are based on events occuring during the grantor's ownership only. A quitclaim deed generally contains no warranties. Therefore, the grantee or transferee of a quitclaim deed has little to no recourse against the grantor if there is an issue with the title to the property based on the deed alone. Quitclaim deeds are often used when there is little or no money being exchanged for the property such as when there is a transfer of family property, between family members or where property is gifted.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
