Quitclaim Deed

California

Asked on Oct 3, 2023

Do quitclaim deeds expire?

I recently inherited a piece of property from my late uncle. I have recently received a quitclaim deed for the property, but I'm not sure if it is still valid. I am interested in selling the property, but I need to know if the quitclaim deed is still valid and will not expire.

Sarah S.

Answered Nov 3, 2023

A quitclaim deed typically maintains its validity over time, but there are key factors to keep in mind: Proper Execution: To ensure the quitclaim deed remains valid, it must have been correctly executed when your late uncle transferred the property to you. This usually entails the presence of a notary public or witnesses and adherence to your state's legal requirements for deed execution. Recording: For safeguarding your interests and confirming the deed's legitimacy, it should be officially recorded with the relevant government office, often the county recorder's office. Recording serves to establish a public record of the property transfer.

Agreement To Rent Or Lease

Illinois

Asked on Jan 20, 2024

Is new owner supposed to honor lease from previous owner in Illinois

New owner says he won't honor lease agreement from previous owner and is requesting to increase monthly rent.

Darryl S.

Answered Jan 26, 2024

It would be advisable to have an attorney review your lease to see if that lease is terminated by sale of the property. You may also want to see the Purchase Agreement for the property to clarify if the buyer of the building has an obligation to continue honoring the lease.

Purchase And Sale Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Sep 6, 2023

Deposit in a purchase and sale agreement?

I am in the process of purchasing a property and have recently been presented with a Purchase and Sale Agreement. I am unclear on the deposit requirements for this agreement, and would like to know what is typically expected in this situation. I am also interested in understanding what happens to the deposit if the deal does not go through.

N'kia N.

Answered Sep 24, 2023

A Purchase and Sale Agreement for real property will often require two types of "deposits." The first is a due diligence fee; the second is an earnest money deposit. A due diligence fee is paid to reserve time for the buyer to conduct due diligence - an opportunity to evaluate whether or how to move forward with the deal. The seller earns this fee immediately by agreeing not to sell the property to another buyer, potentially one offering a higher price, during the due diligence period. Therefore, a due diligence fee is nonrefundable unless the parties specifically agree that it will be and under what circumstances. An earnest money deposit is more akin to deposits in other types of deals, in that it may or may not be refundable. This type of deposit is refundable if the deal is terminated before the due diligence period ends but nonrefundable if the due diligence period ends before the deal is terminated.

Real Estate Purchase Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jun 19, 2022

Deed

I am on a deed with my brother. He took a loan out on the home and fallen behind on payments. What can I do to protect my half of the deed and keep from losing our home.

Jason Q.

Answered Jul 8, 2022

A joint owner of real estate can generally encumber the property, such as by mortgaging their interest, without permission of the other joint owner. If your brother falls behind on payments, the lender could foreclose on his interest in the property. They could then probably force a sale of the property in an action for partition. To prevent this, one option would be to pay off or assume the loan and buy out your brother's interest in the real estate. Since he is behind on his loan, you could probably drive a pretty hard bargain. If you do nothing, the lender could eventually take your brother's interest in the property and force a sale.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
