I close residential and commercial real estate transactions. Myself and my paralegal work hard to ensure that every closing is properly executed. I can write title insurance policies with two companies First American and AmTrust. We are a small title company, but we are capable and efficient. I love what I do and I would love to provide closing services for you as well. I am also a licensed real estate agent. I do not actively practice real estate in the sales agent capacity because of my real estate closing practice. I remain current with policies, procedures, issues and trends. I am available to help anyone buy or sell a home or refer them to someone who will do an excellent job.
Contracts Legal Questions and Answers
Contracts
Contract Agreement
South Carolina
I sold my house but was never paid
To avoid foreclosure, I spoke with a contractor to flip my house for me. He would pay my mortgage until it sold then pay it off and keep the profit. I walk away with the mortgage company paid, but I was fouled. He isn't paying the mortgage after I signed the contract. I'm concerned he will be able to sell it now himself without the mortgage company ever being paid.
Christopher B.
There are many issues involved in this question. I would need to see the original deed and mortgage on your house plus the contract you signed with the contractor. The original mortgage almost certainly had an acceleration clause stating that if you sold the property, then the full mortgage becomes due. Going after the contractor might be possible but other avenues would more likely be the better route to keep your house from being foreclosed. Will also need to see if your contract gives ownership to the contractor or just the right to sell on your behalf. Lots of additional questions that need documents to give you your options.

Sales Agreement
Washington
Can a sales agreement be terminated if one party fails to fulfill their obligations?
I recently entered into a sales agreement with a company to purchase a large quantity of products for my business. The agreement outlined the price, quantity, and delivery schedule of the products. However, the company has consistently failed to deliver the products on time and in the agreed-upon quantities. This has caused significant disruptions to my business operations and financial losses. I would like to know if I have the legal right to terminate the sales agreement due to the company's failure to fulfill their obligations, and if so, what steps should I take to do so?
Merry K.
The following constitutes educational information, not legal advice: 1. Write the other party a letter by certified, return receipt mail - outline the ways in which the other party has been violating the contract, and give them a deadline for resolving the problem. Do not make any threats. 2. Carefully review your agreement and follow any provisions for dispute resolution, such as negotiation, medication, or arbitration. I suggest that in your approach, you emphasize that you believe that the other party is in breach of the contract, but make it clear that you would like to resolve the problem together - but that the other party has a deadline for doing so. If none of the above works, you may want to write another certified, return receipt letter stating that the other party is in breach of the agreement, and none of your reasonable efforts to resolve the matter have resolved the problem. You may want to state that at this point, the contract is now null and void. I recommend that you have a business contract attorney help you through this process - an another other than me. Good luck!

Cofounder Agreement
New York
What are the key elements that should be included in a cofounder agreement?
I am in the process of starting a new business venture with two other individuals, and we are currently in the early stages of forming our cofounder agreement. We want to ensure that our agreement covers all the necessary aspects to protect our interests and clarify our rights and responsibilities. We have already discussed equity distribution, roles and responsibilities, and decision-making processes, but we are curious to know if there are any other key elements that should be included in our cofounder agreement to ensure a smooth and successful partnership in the long run.
Damien B.
Hello! I am a New York Attorney with a law office in Long Island City. Thank you for answer your question. A comprehensive co-founder agreement is crucial for establishing a solid foundation for your new business venture. Since you've already covered equity distribution, roles, and decision-making processes, you're on the right track. Here are key additional elements to include ensuring all parties are protected and potential challenges are addressed: 1. Contributions and Commitments: Clearly define the initial contributions and ongoing commitments of each co-founder. 2. Vesting Schedule: Implement an equity vesting schedule to secure long-term commitment. 3. Ownership of Intellectual Property: Specify that all developed intellectual property belongs to the company. 4. Salaries and Compensation: Decide on founders' compensation arrangements. 5. Dispute Resolution: Establish a process for resolving conflicts efficiently. 6. Founder Exit and Buyout Clauses: Define procedures for different exit scenarios. 7. Decision-Making Authority: Clarify decision-making protocols. 8. Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Clauses: Protect the business from competing actions. 9. Confidentiality Agreement: Enforce confidentiality of sensitive information. 10. Dissolution of the Business: Outline steps for winding down the company. 11. Amendments to the Agreement: Specify how the agreement can be updated. 12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: Determine the governing laws in case of disputes. Consider involving a lawyer to review the agreement for legal compliance. These elements will provide a clear roadmap to navigate conflicts and ensure a successful partnership. Does this address all your concerns? Feel free to seek clarification on any specific section! There should be a button on your page that allows you to request a proposal from me specifically for the legal service you request. Best regards, Attorney Damien B.
