Purchase and Sale Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 5, 2023

Purchase and sale agreement contingencies?

I am in the process of purchasing a home and have received a Purchase and Sale Agreement from the seller. I understand that there are contingencies that must be met in order for the agreement to be valid, but I am unclear on what these contingencies are and how they will affect the agreement. I am hoping to get some insight from a lawyer on what contingencies I should be aware of and how they could affect the agreement.

Myrna L.

Answered Sep 24, 2023

Contingencies are conditions provided in the contract that need to be met prior to performance or close of escrow. In Purchase and Sale Agreements, it is usually the buyer who negotiates for contingencies to reduce or eliminate their risks prior to close of escrow. Normally, buyer’s contingencies would include appraisal reports, property inspections, mortgages, title reports or sale of another property. More often than not, sellers do not have contingencies in Purchase and Sale Agreements because they want to sell the property in a timely manner; if seller cannot deliver the property, it may deem the property not available for sale in the first place.

Lease To Purchase Option Agreement

Tennessee

Asked on Jun 15, 2022

If you're doing a rent to own on a house and the owner dies, can the executor or heirs kick you out of the house, raise the monthly price, or raise the amount of the house or do they have to honor the contract in it's entirety? In Tennessee

I have been renting to own for a few years now. We pay so much a month and have put additional money in the house fixing the house up. We have a certain price that we are paying for the house. The owner died yesterday, and the sister/executor of the will called me this morning saying he died and they were coming to look at the house. Said they were probably going to raise the monthly payment and probably going to raise the price of the house. I'm scared they are either going to kick me out or not let me do rent to own or raise the price. She also said I owed rent for this month which I have already paid!

Rebecca R.

Answered Jun 17, 2022

If your rent-to-own contract is in writing then the contract should be binding on the owner's estate, although there may be some practical challenges in enforcing it. If your contract is not in writing you will have several practical proof problems to overcome, and you may have trouble overcoming the executor's challenges to the contract. As a tenant in possession you may have additional rights to recover investments in the house, or maintain your current amount of rent. As with the purchase option, your rights may depend on the language of your written agreement.

Subordination Agreement

Texas

Asked on Apr 9, 2025

What is a Subordination Agreement?

I am in the process of purchasing a property and the lender has requested that I sign a Subordination Agreement, but I am unsure of what this entails and how it may affect my rights as a borrower. I want to understand the purpose and implications of a Subordination Agreement before signing it, as well as any potential risks or benefits involved in agreeing to it.

Darryl S.

Answered May 23, 2025

The exact situation is unclear as Subordination is usually when you are selling rather than buying. Subordination means putting something in a lower priority compared to something else. In legal and financial terms, it usually comes up when talking about loans or claims. When one party agrees to “subordinate” their claim, they’re saying: “I’ll wait in line — you get paid before I do.” There must be multiple loans or claims and bank is establishing the order they'll get paid.

Arkansas

Asked on Jan 24, 2023

Should I use a lawyer in state or out-of-state?

I am selling a piece of land in Jacksonville, AR. I need a lawyer to help me to review the contract for me. Should I use a lawyer in Arkansas or it does not matter if I use a lawyer in another state?

For Acquisition of land I would recommend local. That is a localized practice area. Something like Delaware Corporate different thing in my opinion.

Escrow Services Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 13, 2024

What are the legal obligations and potential risks involved in using escrow services for a real estate transaction?

I am currently in the process of purchasing a property and my real estate agent has recommended using an escrow service to ensure a secure and smooth transaction. However, I have heard conflicting information about the legal obligations and potential risks associated with using escrow services. I want to make sure I fully understand the legal implications and any potential risks involved before proceeding with this option.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 11, 2024

Hello! Welcome to contractscounsel.com. So in your case, using an escrow service in a real estate transaction is super common as it helps facilitate a secure and smooth transfer of property ownership. In an escrow arrangement, a neutral third party holds the funds, documents, and other assets until all terms and conditions of the sale are met, ensuring that neither the buyer nor the seller is at risk of losing money or property if the other party fails to fulfill their obligations. They are basically a middleman. One of the main legal obligations when using escrow is adherence to the terms outlined in the escrow agreement. Both parties must comply with the instructions provided in the contract, including deadlines for deposits, inspections, and disclosures. The escrow company is legally bound to act according to the instructions from the buyer and seller and can only release funds or documents when all conditions are met. If a dispute arises, the escrow company may require mutual agreement or a court order before taking any action, which could delay the process.

If a dispute arises, the escrow company may require mutual agreement or a court order before taking any action, which could delay the process. Potential risks of using escrow services include issues related to the service provider's reliability and the risk of fraud. It's important to choose a reputable and licensed escrow company to minimize risks. In some cases, fraudulent companies may present themselves as escrow services, taking advantage of unsuspecting buyers or sellers. I would verify with others in the field or even friends and family, in addition to doing your own research online to sniff out any scams. Best of luck! Dolan
