Property
Co-Ownership Agreement
Massachusetts
Is a co-ownership agreement necessary when purchasing a property with a friend?
I am considering purchasing a property with a friend, and we want to ensure that our rights and responsibilities are clearly defined. We have a good relationship and trust each other, but we have heard that it is advisable to have a co-ownership agreement in place to avoid potential conflicts or disputes in the future. We want to know if it is necessary to have such an agreement and what it should include to protect both parties' interests in case of any unforeseen circumstances or changes in our circumstances or relationship.
Joshua D.
Technically, no, such an agreement is not "required." However, you are smart to avoid putting all of your faith in a pre-existing friendship (for the benefit of ownership and the friendship). A strong agreement should cover things such as use and payment of rent between the co-owners, duties of repair, payment of expenses/taxes, the sale of the property, assignment of rights, survivability, and any other thing you can think of that might occur during the time you own the property.
Property
Mortgage Agreement
Massachusetts
How to remove a name from a mortgage?
I helped a friend co sign for a mortgage. I believe documents were submitted on my behalf without my approval. Now that person is trying to add a second lien on the mortgage. I am refusing to sign the documents. The person is on forbearance and owes over $20,000 for the mortgage. I am told if documents are not signed the home would go into foreclosure causing this to affect my credit. I just want to remove myself from this situation because I do not even own the home. Nor do I live in the home.
Richard G.
You are in a difficult position, as I'm sure you are aware. The problem here is that once a person cosigns for another person, that person is obligated to pay the debt. While there may be defenses available, such as duress or coercion, these would be extremely difficult to prove and highly unlikely to succeed. As to your statement that you "believe documents were submitted on my behalf without my approval." If you are alleging fraud, in other words, that you did not really sign or authorize your signature on a document that was necessary to create your valid signature on the mortgage, then perhaps you have a case.

Land Sales Agreement
California
Can I terminate a land sales agreement if the seller fails to deliver the title within the agreed upon timeframe?
I entered into a land sales agreement with a seller to purchase a plot of land for the construction of my new home. The agreement stipulated that the seller must provide the title to the property within 60 days of signing the agreement. However, it has been six months since the agreement was signed and the seller has failed to deliver the title. I am concerned about the delay and the potential impact on my construction plans. Can I terminate the agreement and seek a refund of any payments made if the seller continues to be non-compliant with the agreed upon timeframe?
Dolan W.
Hello! It appears you may have grounds to terminate the land sales agreement based on the seller’s failure to provide the title within the agreed 60-day timeframe. In most land sale agreements, the seller’s timely delivery of a clear and marketable title is a key obligation, and failure to meet this requirement often constitutes a material breach of contract. In other words, CA law requires that parties perform within a reasonable time, and if they do not, it becomes a breach. Given that it has been six months, this delay may be seen as a significant breach, particularly if your construction plans are contingent upon timely access to the property. To move forward, you may wish to formally notify the seller in writing of their breach and request immediate delivery of the title, specifying a final deadline. Best of luck to you! Dolan
Real Estate
Property Lease
California
I have rent to own lease agreement the owner passed away and his conservator sold the property what can I do
I explained in the first box
Matthew K.
After the sale, did you continue living there and paying the lease amount? It's difficult to expand on my answer without reading the agreement (it cannot be oral). Assuming the agreement is what you say, you might consider recording a Lis Pendens on the property. That will get everyone's attention, I can assure you. Probably also consider a quiet title action. None of that advice is necessarily relevant; it depends on what the agreement says.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
