The term of a commercial lease typically is no less than 3 years, and could be either 5 or 10 years. Both the Landlord and Tenant usually like long term leases.

Operating Agreement

New York

Asked on Jul 21, 2024

What should be included in an operating agreement for a small business?

I am in the process of starting a small business with a partner and we are looking to draft an operating agreement. We want to ensure that all important aspects of our business are covered in this agreement, such as ownership percentages, decision-making processes, profit distribution, and dispute resolution mechanisms. We are seeking guidance on what specific clauses and provisions should be included in the operating agreement to protect our interests and ensure a smooth operation of the business.

Arthur S.

Answered Aug 7, 2024

LLC Operating Agreements are comprehensive in nature. You have identified several important provisions. Some other provisions that may be considered are capital contribution obligations, Buy/Sell provisions (including Impasse Buy/Sell), financing guarantee obligations, (if any), assignability provisions, tax allocation provisions, SPE provisions, governing law provisions, etc. The list is numerous and much depends on the nature and scope of the business and specific needs of the parties. I have participated in CLE lectures on this subject.

Purchase and Sale Agreement

Washington

Asked on Sep 9, 2023

Earnest money in a purchase and sale agreement?

I am in the process of buying a house and have been presented with a purchase and sale agreement. I am confused about the earnest money portion of the agreement and would like to understand what it means and how it will affect the transaction. I am particularly interested in knowing what happens to the earnest money if either party decides to back out of the agreement.

Merry K.

Answered Sep 12, 2023

Good morning. I am a WA State attorney, and I have reviewed numerous purchase and sale agreements (PSA), and have bought and sold numerous pieces of property in WA and CO. You are wise to ask this question. Since you are the buyer, normally your buyer's real estate agent would prepare the PSA for you to use, after discussing with you. Since you said a PSA "was presented to you" I"m wondering whether you are buying a new home from a building contractor. In any event, the purpose to an earnest money payment is to hold the home for you and let the seller know you are interested. In most cases, however, the seller can keep your whole earnest money payment if you back out of a purchase for reasons that are not protected in the PSA. For example, if you write your offer contingent on your subjective approval of an inspection report, or write your offer contingent on obtaining financing at terms you approve of, either one of these terms can get you out of the contract and also have your earnest money returned to you. There should be language in the PSA that clearly states what happens to the earnest money and how much earnest money you are providing. I hope that that is helpful. If you continue to have questions, I urge you to have an attorney review any and all documents, including those for loans, prior to signing anything.

Quitclaim Deed

Georgia

Asked on Sep 30, 2023

How enforceable is a quitclaim deed?

I recently inherited a piece of property from a family member and have been told that a quitclaim deed is the only way to transfer the title to my name. I am concerned about the enforceability of this document and would like to understand the potential risks and benefits associated with using a quitclaim deed. I am also curious about the legal requirements for making a quitclaim deed valid.

Bobby H.

Answered Oct 20, 2023

In theory, any writing in which an owner intends to transfer propery that is adquatedly described and delivered to the transferee is enforcable against the GRANTOR. Thus, a quitclaim deed is generally a valid deed, provided that it has been executed with the requiste formalities for purposes of recording in the public records, and adequetly describes the property. Generally, the term "quitclaim" simply signifies the the grantor does not promise to defend the grantee against any third party title claims. To be properly executed, the deed generally must be executed by the grantor in the presence of the notary, notarized, and signed by the notary and one additional witness. Without meeting these requirements, the deed may not be accepted for recordation in the property records, which also makes the deed "enforceable" against third parties, because it service as notice to those who do not have a previously recorded interest in the property of the grantee's title. In sum, a deed, including a quitclaim deed is generally enforceable against the grantor, but must be executed with the above formalities AND recorded to be "enforceable" against, or serve a notice to third parties of the new owner's interest in the property.

Trust Deed

California

Asked on Dec 23, 2024

Can a trust deed be revoked or modified after it has been established?

I recently inherited a property that was placed in a trust deed by my late father, who named me as the beneficiary. The trust deed was established several years ago and outlines specific conditions for the distribution of the property. However, I am now considering making some changes to the property, such as adding an additional structure or dividing it into separate lots. I am wondering if it is possible to revoke or modify the trust deed to accommodate these changes, or if I am bound by its original terms.

Dolan W.

Answered Dec 31, 2024

Hello! My name is Dolan and I'm happy to answer your question. If your father placed the property into trust and has passed, it's important to look at the trust terms to see if the trustee has any authority to transfer the property over to you. If there is no authority for that, then you have to determine whether the property requires the trustee to approve modifications or if your dad gave you the right to make these improvements yourself. Nevertheless, when a person dies, the trust becomes irrevocable, so modifications or revocations are not permitted. Revocations are allowed if something happens like you die and there is no backup beneficiary or if the property is condemned by the state,for example. Otherwise, you have to look at the trust terms and/or speak to the trustee. We can always review these things for you here on the site. Thanks again!
