Warranty Deed

Illinois

Asked on Jun 1, 2022

CAN YOU TELL ME THE PROCEDURES OF A WARRANTY DEED

I RECIEVED A WARRANTY DEED IN THE MAIL AFTER THE SELLERS REFUSED TO SPEAK TO ME AFTER A FIRE OCCURED LAST YEAR

T. Phillip B.

Answered Jul 12, 2022

Did you purchase the property before or after the fire? If before, did you have insurance? If after, what was the agreement you had with respect to the insurance proceeds the Seller was to receive? The Warranty Deed is what is offered when there is a transfer of real estate and the seller warrants ownership to another. Frequently this will also involve title insurance to back up the warranty deed if there were other claims against the property

Agreement To Lease

Georgia

Asked on Feb 2, 2022

When it comes to subleasing an apartment or rental, do I need specific written permission from the owner, or as long as the lease agreement doesnt forbit it, am I okay to proceed?

I am in the process of potentially leasing a home in Savannah, GA for a period of 8 months. My goal is to sublease this home as an Airbnb and make a profit. The leasing agreement has no language forbidding subleasing the property, but it also doesnt have express written permission either. I'm just wondering if that means I can proceed with my plan.

Meghan T.

Answered Feb 4, 2022

This is a topic I get asked about very frequently. In Georgia, the right to sublet residential property is based on the express (written) and implied (inferred) language of the lease. Generally, if subleasing is not mentioned, then there is no restriction on subletting. In any event, you may want to at least have a discussion with your Landlord concerning what you plan to do. This can avoid lots of headaches for you and your guests later down the line.

Release of Lien

Massachusetts

Asked on Sep 24, 2024

Can a release of lien be obtained if the original lienholder cannot be located?

I recently purchased a property and discovered that there is a lien against it from a previous owner's unpaid contractor. However, I have been unable to locate the original lienholder to request a release of lien. I need to know if it is possible to obtain a release of lien in this situation, and if so, what steps I should take to ensure the lien is cleared from the property's title.

Thomas D.

Answered Sep 27, 2024

You have several alternatives. Did your original title policy insure against liens? If so, I can work with the title company to have the lien removed. Second, if the lien is old, it may have already expired and can be removed as a matter of law. Third, there are procedures in every state to remove a lien if the lienholder cannot be located. Finally, we may be able to have the title insurance company insure over the lien. Tom

Co-Ownership Agreement

New York

Asked on Feb 12, 2025

Need advice on Co-ownership Agreement.

I am considering purchasing a property with a friend and we want to draft a Co-ownership Agreement to outline our rights and responsibilities. However, we have different financial contributions and I want to ensure that my investment is protected in case of any disputes or if one of us wants to sell the property. Can you provide guidance on what should be included in the agreement to address these concerns and any other important aspects we should consider?

Damien B.

Answered Feb 13, 2025

Hello. An option is to create an LLC to purchase the property. This would provide liability protection. As part of the LLC, the members would have an Operating Agreement outlining the terms and conditions of managing the LLC (which owns the property), including provisions regarding financial contributions, disbursement, resolutions of disputes or disagreements, and how a property sale would occur.

Real Estate Option Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 28, 2024

Can a real estate option agreement be terminated if the property owner does not fulfill certain conditions within the specified time frame?

I am currently in the process of negotiating a real estate option agreement with a property owner, where I have the right to purchase the property within a certain time frame at a pre-determined price. However, the agreement includes certain conditions that the property owner must fulfill, such as obtaining certain permits or completing renovations, within a specified time period. If the property owner fails to meet these conditions within the given timeframe, can the option agreement be terminated, or do I still have the right to purchase the property at the agreed-upon price? I am seeking clarification on the legal implications of such a situation.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 2, 2024

If your option agreement explicitly states that the property owner must meet certain conditions (e.g., obtaining permits or completing renovations) as a prerequisite for you exercising your option, their failure to meet these conditions could render the agreement void or allow you to terminate it. The agreement might include a "time is of the essence" clause, which makes meeting deadlines legally binding. If the property owner misses deadlines for required actions, you may have grounds to terminate the agreement. Carefully examine the terms, particularly sections related to contingencies, conditions, and remedies for non-compliance. Consult an attorney to assess your rights and obligations under the agreement and advise you on how to proceed. Feel free to reach out.

Contracts 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.

I 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.

I 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.
