Better have a real estate license or you will end up in the slammer.

It would be absurd for anyone to offer a definitive answer for your situation without looking at the language written into your contract.\n\nTechnically, you offer a service, and the contract is for payment for services rendered.  The contract also states that services rendered would be provided under certain conditions and allowances.  (I assume this much from what you've indicated)  \n\nHowever, there is specific language which needs to be used in the contract- language which makes your agreement "legal" and language which covers any possible loopholes which may exist.\n\nAt the minimum, both parties need to be identified and referred to in the same manner throughout the entire document.  Dates and dollar amounts specified, and in some cases written out completely (no numbers, as numbers can get "misread" 1's and 7's sometimes look similar, dependant on handwriting or typeset)  All stipulations must be clearly indicated, and any signatures must be dated, and prefaced with something indicating all parts of the document were read, understood, and accepted as a contract for services rendered.\n\nIt's probably not worth the trouble to pursue this matter.  Have you truly lost a ton of money, or are you trying to get back at the parent?\n\nConsider the children.  If you think them as angels, do you want to put them through a possible court proceeding?

Call the Better Business Bureau. You may have to hire an attorney. Read everything very carefully before you sign it. If you did not sign an agreement, you may be able to get out of it. Buyer Beware.

If you have a signed purchase and sale agreement, and the buyer fails to abide by the agreement, you can usually keep the deposit. You have to see what your contract says.\n\nThe closing date should be in the P&S and any change should have to be in writing. If the buyer has to obtain a mortgage and is having a problem, you may be stuck, since that usually allows the buyer to get his deposit back. Also check to see if the P&S has a "time is of the essence" clause.

How about a sales/purchase agreement?\n\nThis document defines the parties, price and terms, what is included and excluded, assignment of lease(s), representations and warranties, time, date and location of closing, allocation of purchase price, responsibilities for taxes and fees, etc.\n\nIt is essential for you to have one.\n\nMichael Casey CPA\nBusiness Consultant\n608-271-0068

If it is an ongoing business, be sure customer base is spread out, in other words, one customer doesn't account for more than 20% of the total business. Check out the 20/80 part of your business, 80% of the businesss comes from 20% of your customer base. Do you have a non-compete clause in buying contract?\n    Will current owner help get you up and running? Are you an employee now, if yes, will customers come with you when the change is made? Current employees, do they know, and if so, are the ok with change, business is hard enough, without having internal problems right out of the gate!

specify terms ( payment and schedule and penalties ) parties ( who pays and who receives ) property ( what and final disposition ) you also need to get the lien placed on the title ( can't repo without that - a judgment is useless ) get all the above notarized\n\nshould be samples on the web search ! try for state specific contracts ( in case your state is one of the ones with oddball little laws - like the few that specify that only licensed lenders can place liens on titles )

What you are required to come up with is a Purchase and Sales agreement for you and the buyer to sign.  It will spell out how much you have agreed to sell the house for and other terms such as:\n\n1. The house is to be sold in "as is" condition\n2. What appliances to be sold with the house\n3. The type of financing the buyer is going for\n4. etc.\n\nYou can find this document at any Office Supply Store like Office Depot or Staples. Make copies for yourself and the buyer.\n\nThey buyer will take that document to the Mortgage Broker who will work on financing and either you, the buyer, or the mortgage broker will then choose a Title Company to handle all the other legal stuff.

Basically you have to buy out your partner's share.  The partnership agreement probably spells out how this is to be done.\n\nIf you do not have a written partnership agreement, at least put the dissolution of the partnership in writing, in the form of a contract you both sign, and have it notarized.  Then it either [former] partners' heirs have a question about the assets of the partnership, you will have it all in writing.

Usually depending on the size of your business it is a good idea to let the company attorney do these contracts for you but you can do this yourself. Do the contract in simple terms that you can understand basically stating the services that you will provide for the cost that they will pay

The validity of the contract will not be affected by the place of signing or preparartion.\n\nFor other details u should explain the nature of arrangement.

It appears that you are dealing with a probate issue as well as issues related to ownership of property. \n\nI would suggest that you seek legal advise, in the form of a lawyer, or mediator. The legal issues are complex and technical, as the will will likely will have given direction, but clearly has not resolved issues. this will therefore have to be contested, and unless the other parties are willing (which does not appear to be the case) this will become a complex and time consuming situation.\n\nAt $ 100. to 150. per hour (or more) you can see that it would become very expensive to resolve this matter. \n\nanother approach may be to suggest to the other parties to have the property appraised by certified appraisors (not realtors)\n(each party to do their own) and agree that the average is the base price to work from, and then to use this number as the value from which you all negotiate a buy out at terms that work for all parties.\n\nKeep in mind that neither of the parties may be able to come up the money to buy any one or more parties out,so it may require each of the parties to become creative and allow for some private mortgaging to one or an other.\n\nI assume you are all family in some fashion or another, so the emotional side of all this is another consideration and may make my suggestion something that allows each of you and the respective family to move forward and keep relations civil and constructive.\n\nTher is likely little incentive by the parties using the property to resolve the matter, but if everything else fails the courts will have to resolve the matter, and trust me "everybody will LOOSE".\n\nGood luck

You can copywrite it. Or you can go to a laywers office and ask them for any advice on what you can do. Or you can do the agreement you talked about that reads that they WONT use it an any manner other then business between you and them. I would definately talk to a laywer and see what your opinions are..

I've found that you're better off giving them the control.  Tell them that as a preferred customer you will charge 2 points.  They can take that as front points or ysp.  They decide.  The other guy is right, you won't find the documentation you're looking for.  \n\nOh, they know that what you are offering is fair.  Especially if they've bought a house before.  Even if they didn't, they're probably comparing your offer to other companies they've shopped for in their mind.   They're going to keep saying that you're charging too much.  That's their job as consumers.  Set your price and stick to it.  If you've done your job of earning their trust, they'll stick with you.

Do you have any record, written or witnessed that you jointly paid for the house. Any other commitment, definitely it should be in writing or witnessed.\n\nDO your own homework first. The ownership deed carries your name, in case of faulty payment schedule if you are equally responsible then you are equally rewardable too. In case she has not asked you for any CAPEX sharing earlier, that is her fault.\n\nProvided, you have to agree too -leaglly that is, for her to sell the house. If that deed gives you the right then she cannot keep you out. In fact did you share any or part of the equity, and have record or receipt to show for it? If yes, then it is an open and shut case. She will loose more money than you even by going to court, she had waited long for this and now it she pays a price with a premium.\n\nOtherwise, you have no say/no record whatsoever, just remember that the cost of 1.5" of patch and two moons was that much and hope you got your moneys worth.

This has been a good question for a long time. A verbal contract is binding (If both sides agree what was said) so I cannot see why this is not true in house buying. \nIt is in Scotland so it should be the same in England too.\n\nWhat it needs is for someone who suffers financial loss (through someone offering and then pulling out, or someone not selling after accepting an offer) to take it as a test case to the courts. Or the European courts. \n\nIt is totally wrong that they English system allows it to happen. The system should allow us to sue the pants off the person responsible for making the deal fall through. \n\nI think the solicitors and legal teams are a bunch of leeches too, by the way. The British conveyancing system sucks. Big time.\n\nHope that helps and good luck!
