Quitclaim Deed
Minnesota
I am partnered and want to be added to our home.We are not married and may not be in the future.
I have been partnered for several years. My partner owned the home prior to me moving in. However, I am contributing to the monthly mortgage/expenses. We have a co-habitation agreement however, I would like to be added to the title/deed of the home. Can I do this for a low cost? How do I go about this? Thanks!!!
Jaren J.
You need to have your partner sign/notarize a quit claim deed from your partner to you and your partner either as joint tenants or tenants in common. The deed is then filed with the county in which the property is located and the $46 recording feed paid (along with a $5 conservation fee and $1.65 to $1.70 deed tax).

Real Estate Contract for Sale
Iowa
If a property is under contract as "seller financed" is it possible for the last buyer to enter into an option to buy contract with a new buyer?
The current owner of a property is under contract making monthly payments with the previous seller/title holder who is financing the loan. The property under contract is not occupied by the current owner. Another party is interested in buying the property, but desires to do research first, and would like to enter into a 6-12 month option to buy contract with the current owner. Is it possible for two contracts to exist on the same property?
Brad B.
Typically interests in real estate are assignable - meaning either the buyer or the seller could sell their rights under the contract to another party. An interested buyer could also enter into a contract where the second buyer have the right to buy the property even though the seller doesn't have full legal title to the property yet. Assuming there is no contractual provision restricting the assignment of rights under the contract, Buyer I and Buyer II could enter into an agreement that states that Buyer II would have the option to purchase Buyer I's interest under the contract. If Buyer II executed the option, then Buyer II would start making the payments are required by the contract. It's important to note that Buyer I would still be liable to make the payments to seller if Buyer II failed to do so. As an agreement between Buyer I and Buyer II does not change the contract between Buyer I and Seller. If the Seller is involved, the original contract could be amended or assigned to Buyer II. As an alternative, Buyer I and Buyer could enter into an agreement where upon Buyer II's executing their option to buy the real estate, Buyer II would provide funds to Buyer I, who would in turn pay Seller what is owned under the contract. Buyer I would then be obligated to convey the real estate to Buyer II. Depending on the facts there might be other alternatives or possible solutions. Each matter depends on the facts. An attorney would be able to review the transaction and make a determination of what the best course would be given the client's needs.

Real Estate Option Agreement
New York
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.
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.

Purchase and Sale Agreement
California
Purchase and sale agreement contingencies?
I am in the process of purchasing a home and have received a Purchase and Sale Agreement from the seller. I understand that there are contingencies that must be met in order for the agreement to be valid, but I am unclear on what these contingencies are and how they will affect the agreement. I am hoping to get some insight from a lawyer on what contingencies I should be aware of and how they could affect the agreement.
Myrna L.
Contingencies are conditions provided in the contract that need to be met prior to performance or close of escrow. In Purchase and Sale Agreements, it is usually the buyer who negotiates for contingencies to reduce or eliminate their risks prior to close of escrow. Normally, buyer’s contingencies would include appraisal reports, property inspections, mortgages, title reports or sale of another property. More often than not, sellers do not have contingencies in Purchase and Sale Agreements because they want to sell the property in a timely manner; if seller cannot deliver the property, it may deem the property not available for sale in the first place.

Commercial Lease
Florida
Need flat rate to do sub lease Kiosk at mall in Miami
Renting Kiosk as a sub leaser, need to verify contract and seeking a Flat rate.
Moss S.
I have been a commercial real estate attorney for over 30 years. I can review the agreement, and negotiate and draft any revisions. Considering it is in a mall, I am guessing that it is with a major retail landlord which would require review of the underlying lease. I can give you a flat rate once you request a proposal.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
