Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

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.

Quitclaim Deed
Georgia
Are there risks in accepting a quitclaim deed?
I recently inherited a property from my aunt and I am considering transferring ownership to my cousin using a quitclaim deed. I have heard that there are some risks associated with this type of deed, and I wanted to make sure that I understand all of the potential implications before making a decision. I am looking for advice on how to proceed in a way that is most beneficial for all parties involved.
Bobby H.
There are generally three broad categories of deeds mostly used to convey property in Georgia, depending on certain warranties, or the lack thereof, contained therein. These categorizes include warranty deeds, limited warranty deeds, and quitclaim deeds. In a warranty or general warranty deed, the grantor generally warrants title, and promises to defend the grantee against third party title claims that either arose, or which are based on events occuring at anytime during the grantor's ownership of the property OR the ownership of any of the grantor's predecessors in title. In a limited warranty deed, a grantor generally warrants and promises to defend the grantee against title claims which arose, or which are based on events occuring during the grantor's ownership only. A quitclaim deed generally contains no warranties. Therefore, the grantee or transferee of a quitclaim deed has little to no recourse against the grantor if there is an issue with the title to the property based on the deed alone. Quitclaim deeds are often used when there is little or no money being exchanged for the property such as when there is a transfer of family property, between family members or where property is gifted.

Letter of Intent
New York
Can a Letter of Intent be legally binding?
I am in the process of negotiating a business deal with another party and we have exchanged Letters of Intent as a preliminary agreement. However, I am unsure if this document holds any legal weight and if it can be enforced in case of a breach. I want to understand the legal implications of a Letter of Intent and whether it can be considered a legally binding contract.
Arthur S.
Short answer is yes...provided they contain the basic elements of a binding agreement. LOI's can be short and simple or extensive and detailed. Most often, LOIs are intended to provide a road map for the drafting of more formal, comprehensive binding agreements and contain an express a provision that they are not intended to be binding upon the parties to the LOI.

Quitclaim
Oklahoma
Can a quit claim be contested after 18 years for any reason?
X is trying filing to contest
Elbert T.
Hello! I hope you are well! If X is contesting a defective or invalid deed, and the quitclaim deed has been recorded for at least five years, then the deed will be considered valid. Under Oklahoma law, an instrument (in your case, the quitclaim deed) that has not been acknowledged or which contains a defective acknowledgment shall be considered valid notwithstanding such omission or defect, and shall not be deemed to impair marketability, provided such instrument has been recorded for a period of not less than five (5) years. 16 O.S. §§ 27a & 39a. I would note that my response is limited based on the information that you have provided and that each individual situation may present its own unique issues. I hope this helps!

what is better to buy land or rent for construction in US?
we are a construction company from Ukraine, we are planning to build a cottage town in the USA
T. Phillip B.
I suppose it doesn't matter if you have the lease giving you permission and the lease is long enough to justify the building expense when you won't own it. But I'd buy the land so you could eventually sell the property with the building on it.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
