Purchase and Sale Agreement
North Carolina
Title issues in a purchase and sale agreement?
I am in the process of buying a piece of property, and I am currently in the middle of negotiating the purchase and sale agreement. I am concerned about potential title issues that may arise due to the history of the property, as I am not sure if the seller has clear title to the property. I would like to know what I should look out for in the agreement to ensure that I am protected from any potential title issues.

A typical purchase and sale agreement for real property (commonly called an "Offer to Purchase and Contract" in North Carolina) includes due diligence. Due diligence is the buyer's opportunity to investigate the property. During the due diligence period, the buyer will usually have the property inspected. However, the buyer may also conduct a title search on the property. Additionally, a purchase and sale agreement might specify that the deal is contingent upon the seller being able to deliver clear title to the property. Anyone who is considering entering into a purchase and sale agreement for real property should also consider at least having an attorney review the agreement. It probably would not hurt to have attorney representation throughout the transaction.

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.
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.

Trust Deed
California
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.
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!
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
