Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Real Estate

Purchase And Sale Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 5, 2023

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.

Answered Sep 24, 2023

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.

Quitclaim Deed

New York

Asked on Oct 1, 2023

What protection does quitclaim deed offer?

I am the owner of a piece of property that I recently inherited from a family member. I am considering having a quitclaim deed drawn up to transfer ownership of the property to another family member. I would like to know what protection this type of deed offers to both the grantor and grantee in order to ensure that the transfer of ownership is done legally and correctly.

Damien B.

Answered Oct 24, 2023

Generally, an owner of property and the potential purchaser would use a Quitclaim Deed when there is no need to warrant or guarantee that the property is free and clear of liens. In other words, the seller does not warrant and guarantee that the property is free and clear of any and all liens. A common use would be when the property has been in the family and the transfer of the property is between family members knowing that there are no liens on the property and all taxes have been paid on the property.

Options Contract

Pennsylvania

Asked on Sep 23, 2021

Can you draft a real estate option agreement that is legal in PA and NY?

Hi, My name is Shawn Mallett. I am a real estate marketer and seller that is not real estate salesperson licensed. Can you confirm whether or not it is legal for me to utilize an option to purchase contract with a seller/wholesaler with the intention to sell and assign the contract (with the seller knowing this intention) rather than the intention to close on it myself? How much would you charge to confirm the legality of the following contract in both PA and NY and make the appropriate changes if needed? Option to Purchase Real Estate Agreement Date: 06/21/2021 This option agreement is entered between the Parties, Optionor(s) and Optionee(s), below in consideration of and subject to the following terms and conditions. 1. Parties ________________ and/or assigns as Optionee and _________________ as Optionor. 2. Property located in the Town of _________, County of _________, state of _________, to wit: Lot: ___________ Grid Number: ____________ 3. Offer: Optionee has the option to purchase this property at a price of __________________. 4. Period: 3 Years (1,095 days) 5. Terms and Conditions: ‐ Optionor understands that Optionees’s intention is to find an End‐ Buyer and assign this option agreement to that End‐Buyer for a fee (paid by the End‐Buyer). ‐ Optionor understands that Optionee is acting as a principal in the transaction and is not working as a licensed real estate broker representing anyone in the transaction. ‐ Upon Optionee’s decision to exercise this option, both parties agree to move forward with the necessary standard purchase and sales agreement. ‐ Optionor may cancel this agreement at any time if they find their own End‐ Buyer or decide not to sell. This cancellation must be done in writing. ‐ Optionor agrees to allow Optionee to advertise the property for sale. ‐ If Optionee does not acquire an End‐Buyer to assign this deal to within 3 years (three year) of acceptance of this Option Agreement, this agreement becomes null and void. ‐ All parties agree that property is sold in “as is” present condition unless noted otherwise. ‐ Time is of the essence in this agreement. OPTIONOR:____________________ DATE: 06/21/2021 OPTIONEE:__________________________________________________________________DATE: 06/21/2021 Thanks.

Quitclaim Deed

Illinois

Asked on Sep 30, 2023

Fees for filing a quitclaim deed?

I recently inherited a piece of property from a family member and I would like to transfer ownership of that property to someone else. I understand that a quitclaim deed is the legal document that I need to do this, but I am unsure of the fees associated with filing the quitclaim deed. I would like to know the cost of filing the quitclaim deed so that I can make the necessary arrangements.

Frank V.

Answered Oct 6, 2023

The amount of the filing fee varies from county to county. You can call the office of the recorder of deeds for your county to find out the correct amount.

Contract for Deed

Texas

Asked on Feb 14, 2022

Need help with a property issue

My wife and I took over a house from a friend in August of 2008 due to his job transfer from Houston to Nigeria. We agreed to the following terms: We will continue paying the mortgage plus a second loan attached, apply for mortgage approval, and change ownership to our name. We had a written agreement. We applied for a loan in 2009 but was not approved due to poor credit. We decided to wait and continue paying and reducing the outstanding before reapplying. In August of 2021, we reapplied and were given a loan approval to assume the house in our name. Our agent requested that we should have the other party communicate with them. I called and informed him to reach out to our agent but he kept promising to call the agent but never kept his promise. About the middle of January 2022, he stopped picking up our calls. We sent several emails and he never cared to respond. We need help on what to do next.

Kelvin R.

Answered Mar 8, 2022

You may have an executory contract under Texas law. There may be an argument to be made for an equitable title in the property. You need a lawyer to review the document to ensure compliance under applicable contract for deed or other laws. Without seeing the contract we simply have no way to know your options. Roquemore Skierski PLLC are experienced, Texas-based attorneys who support owner operated, owner-managed businesses and entrepreneurs with a full range of legal services.

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.
