Purchase and Sale Agreement
Texas
Does a wholesaler need to be at closing?
As a wholesale from another state trying to execute a purchase and sale agreement on a property, do i need to be physically present in that state to complete this process. For example, i live in Texas. The property is in California. How do i conduct a purchase and sale agreement with a seller or their real estate agent. I live in Texas. I am trying to execute a purchase and sale agreement with a seller or their real estate agent who live in California.
Rebecca S.
The short answer is you can be an out of state purchaser but you need to right support team behind you. Signing the contract can be done electronically and you don’t need to be in California to do that. Either a real estate attorney or hiring your own agent.

Lease To Purchase Option Agreement
Tennessee
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.
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.

Release of Lien
Florida
Can a release of lien be obtained without paying off the underlying debt?
I purchased a property that had an existing lien on it, and the seller promised to obtain a release of lien before the closing, but now they are refusing to do so unless I pay off the remaining debt, even though the lien was filed against them, not me - I want to know if it is possible to obtain a release of lien without having to pay off the underlying debt.
Jorge G.
The standard practice is that any lien against the property should be paid off at or before closing. You should also have obtained title insurance, which generally covers liens that were not satisfied. You should have received a copy of your title insurance policy sometime after closing, and the lien coverage (or any exception) should appear on the policy. At this point, you should contact an attorney to review all of your closing documents and advise you on the best course of action.

Solar Panel Lease Agreement
Arizona
Can the solar panel lease agreement be transferred to a new homeowner if I sell my house?
I recently installed solar panels on my house through a leasing agreement with a solar company. However, I am considering selling my house in the near future and I'm unsure if the lease agreement for the solar panels can be transferred to the new homeowner, or if I would need to terminate the lease before selling. I want to understand my rights and obligations regarding the solar panel lease agreement in the event of selling my home.
Thomas D.
In most cases, yes. I would need to review the contract. If the contract is silent on this issue, then by state law it should be assignable. Tom

Fee Retainer Agreement
New York
Can you explain the purpose and terms of a Fee Retainer Agreement?
I am currently in the process of hiring a lawyer for a legal matter and have been presented with a Fee Retainer Agreement. While I understand that this document outlines the lawyer's fees and payment terms, I would like a thorough explanation of its purpose and the specific terms I should be aware of. I want to ensure that I fully understand the financial obligations and protections provided by this agreement before proceeding with legal representation.
Arthur S.
In many states, e.g. New York, Fee Retainer agreements are required by law before any legal services can be performed. As you have indicated, the base purpose of a retainer agreement is to set forth a clear description of the scope of legal services to be performed and the fees and disbursements payable in connection with the rendering of such services. The retainer agreement should also set forth the rights of both client and attorney in the event a dispute arises between them and the methodology for resolving such dispute, e.g. arbitration vs lawsuit. The retainer agreement should also set forth the right of the client to terminate, as well as the right of the attorney to withdraw from, the attorney/client relationship.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
