Quitclaim Deed

Georgia

Asked on Sep 30, 2023

When to use a quitclaim deed?

I recently inherited a piece of property from a family member and I am looking to transfer ownership to another family member. I am not sure if a Quitclaim deed is the correct way to do this, and I am seeking legal advice to understand when to use a Quitclaim deed in this situation.

Bobby H.

Answered Oct 20, 2023

Notwithstanding any statory formalities required for purposes of recording in the public records, in theory, any writing in which an owner intends to transfer propery that is adquatedly described and delivered to the transferee may function as a deed. However, in practice, you will find there are generally three broad categories of deeds mostly used to convey property in Georgia, depending on certain warranties, or the lack thereof, contained therein. These categorizes include warranty deeds, limited warranty deeds, and quitclaim deeds. In a warranty or general warranty deed, the grantor generally warrants title, and promises to defend the grantee against third party title claims that either arose, or which are based on events occuring at anytime during the grantor's ownership of property OR the ownership of any of the grantor's predecessors in title. In a limited warranty deed, a grantor generally only warrants and promises to defend the grantee against title claims which arose, or which are based on events occuring during the grantor's ownership. A quitclaim deed generally contains no warranties. Therefore, the grantee or transferee of a quitclaim deed has little to no recourse against the grantor if there is an issue with the title to the property based on the deed alone. Generally, in circumstances where there is a transfer of family property, between family members, in which no money is being exchanged, a quitclaim deed is fine. However, there may be certain tax consequences if the family member were to later resale the property. He/she may want to consult a tax professional prior to do so.

Lease Agreement

Arizona

Asked on Feb 15, 2023

In a lease purchase agreement, is the purchase price agreed upon initially and if so, how do you calculate a purchase price for 3 years into the future?

I am looking to start a RE development company that offers Lease Purchase agreements. Before entering into such a contract, I need to run the numbers to see if this is a profitable business. The purchase price is a key factor.

Jane C.

Answered Mar 17, 2023

I suggest you consult with your accountant. Also look at the assignment provision in the lease to see if there are any restrictions.

Real Estate Option Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 28, 2024

Can a real estate option agreement be terminated if the property owner does not fulfill certain conditions within the specified time frame?

I am currently in the process of negotiating a real estate option agreement with a property owner, where I have the right to purchase the property within a certain time frame at a pre-determined price. However, the agreement includes certain conditions that the property owner must fulfill, such as obtaining certain permits or completing renovations, within a specified time period. If the property owner fails to meet these conditions within the given timeframe, can the option agreement be terminated, or do I still have the right to purchase the property at the agreed-upon price? I am seeking clarification on the legal implications of such a situation.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 2, 2024

If your option agreement explicitly states that the property owner must meet certain conditions (e.g., obtaining permits or completing renovations) as a prerequisite for you exercising your option, their failure to meet these conditions could render the agreement void or allow you to terminate it. The agreement might include a "time is of the essence" clause, which makes meeting deadlines legally binding. If the property owner misses deadlines for required actions, you may have grounds to terminate the agreement. Carefully examine the terms, particularly sections related to contingencies, conditions, and remedies for non-compliance. Consult an attorney to assess your rights and obligations under the agreement and advise you on how to proceed. Feel free to reach out.

Real Estate Option Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Feb 26, 2025

Can a Real Estate Option Agreement be terminated if the seller sells the property to a third party before the option period expires?

Can a Real Estate Option Agreement be terminated if the seller sells the property to a third party before the option period expires? I entered into a Real Estate Option Agreement with a seller, giving me the option to purchase their property within a specified time frame. However, before the option period expired, the seller sold the property to a third party. I am now unsure of my rights and whether I can enforce the option agreement or seek any remedies for the seller's breach of contract.

Jerome L.

Answered Apr 8, 2025

Hi there, If you had a valid and enforceable Real Estate Option Agreement, the seller likely breached that agreement by selling the property to a third party before the option period expired. Here’s what you should know: Your Rights Under an Option Agreement: An Option Agreement is Legally Binding: Once you pay consideration for an option to purchase property within a specified time frame, the seller is legally obligated to keep that offer open. They cannot sell the property to someone else during that time without breaching the agreement. The Sale Does Not Automatically Terminate the Option: The seller's transfer to a third party does not cancel your rights under the option agreement. In fact, the third party may have taken the property subject to your option, especially if the agreement was recorded or the buyer had notice. You May Be Entitled to Legal Remedies: Your options may include: Specific Performance: Forcing the sale of the property to you if it is still possible. Monetary Damages: If specific performance is not available, you could pursue damages for breach of contract. Equitable Remedies: Depending on the circumstances, there may be claims for fraud, bad faith, or interference with contractual relations if the third party knew about your option. Recording the Option Agreement Strengthens Your Claim: If your option was recorded in the public land records, it puts all third parties on notice of your rights. Even if it wasn’t, the seller and potentially the third party may still be liable based on what they knew. I recommend speaking with an attorney as soon as possible to review your agreement, assess the timeline, and determine the best course of action based on your state’s laws. If you are in Georgia or need guidance on how to proceed, I would be glad to help. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Real Estate & Contracts Attorney

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.
