Purchase and Sale Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Sep 9, 2023

Purchase and sale agreement and boundaries?

I am in the process of purchasing a house and the purchase and sale agreement includes the boundaries of the property. I am concerned that the boundaries listed in the agreement do not match the boundaries of the property as shown in the survey, and I would like to know what my legal options are.

Bobby H.

Answered Oct 20, 2023

Your options should be set forth in your purchase and sale agreement. Most agreements provide for amendment and/or cancellation if issues are discovered and not corrected during the due diligence period or short period of time thereafter PROVIDED the seller has been placed on notice in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Regardless whether the sales agreement is amended, verifying and ensuring that the legal descriptions in the final closing documents contain a references to the survey should suffice.

Purchase Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 2, 2023

Are there cancellation fees in purchase agreements?

I am currently in the process of purchasing a home and I have been presented with a purchase agreement. I was wondering if there are any cancellation fees included in the agreement, as I would like to make sure that I am aware of all the terms and potential costs associated with this purchase. I want to make sure that I am fully informed before I make a final decision.

Damien B.

Answered Nov 3, 2023

Hello! I understand you are entering into a Purchase Agreement and want to know whether there are any cancellation fees. First, you would read the agreement to see if there is any mention of termination/cancellation fees such as the loss of the down payment if the buyer attempt to terminate the contract. But, generally, the agreement is binding contract. So, if a buyer attempts to cancel the contract, it could be considered a breach of contract. In that situation, the seller can claim damages, which usually results in a loss of the down payment but also could lead to other monetary claims or a claim to attempt to force the buyer to fulfill the purchase (general called a specific performance claim). Separately, in most cases, if the buyer's ability to purchase the property is dependent on getting a secured loan, usually there would be no cancellation or damage claim and the buyer would have the right to the return of the downpayment (this should be outlined in the contract and is usually referred to as a contingency clause). I hope that helps.

Subordination Agreement

Texas

Asked on Apr 9, 2025

What is a Subordination Agreement?

I am in the process of purchasing a property and the lender has requested that I sign a Subordination Agreement, but I am unsure of what this entails and how it may affect my rights as a borrower. I want to understand the purpose and implications of a Subordination Agreement before signing it, as well as any potential risks or benefits involved in agreeing to it.

Darryl S.

Answered May 23, 2025

The exact situation is unclear as Subordination is usually when you are selling rather than buying. Subordination means putting something in a lower priority compared to something else. In legal and financial terms, it usually comes up when talking about loans or claims. When one party agrees to “subordinate” their claim, they’re saying: “I’ll wait in line — you get paid before I do.” There must be multiple loans or claims and bank is establishing the order they'll get paid.

For Acquisition of land I would recommend local. That is a localized practice area. Something like Delaware Corporate different thing in my opinion.

Mortgage Modification Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Jan 3, 2022

Do you handle Forbearance in Ga?

We currently were in the Forbearance program. My father passed away he is the only one listed on the title, however him and my mother are still listed on the loan. The bank will not let us do a loan motification since my father is deceased . They are wanting the missed payments all at once or they say we loose the house

Meghan T.

Answered Feb 4, 2022

Hello. First, I would like to say I am sorry for your loss. Regarding your question, I can provide a more general type of answer since more specifics are needed to determine the rights of you and your mother. The ability to continue with a forbearance program under these circumstances depends on the type of program applied to this loan. For example; the COVID hardship forbearance program applies to ALL federally backed and federally sponsored mortgages (HUD/ FHA, VA, USDA, Fannie Mae/ Freddie Mac). Depending on the loan type, a total of 18 months of forbearance may be applied to the loan. If the bank applied a different type of forbearance program, there may be different stipulations and mandates. Therefore, it is important to know what type of forbearance program is being applied and what the stipulations are. In any event, forbearance is an agreement by the bank to not do something (such as place the loan in default for missing a mortgage payment) for some stipulated period of time. The mere fact that your father is the only person listed on title and has passed away, may not change that agreement especially if the loan is federally backed. This is because although many loans and forbearance agreements contain a due on sale transfer provisions, federal law prohibits enforcement of these provisions for federally backed mortgages when the transfer is death related. Thus, depending on the circumstances, the bank may be prohibited from immediately accelerating (requiring "the missed payments all at once").
