We are under contract to buy a condo in Florida and seller got a better offer :
The condo was left to only son, we have a signed contract and then He was offered more. Now he is dragging his feet and wants out of the contract claims he is depressed and underwater and wants to back out. My husband feels we are under contract and will wait it out. What options do we have?
Our realtor said the listing agent wants to drop the listing
Samuel’s answer: You likely have a lawsuit against the seller for specific performance. You can force him to sell you the property and, if your contract calls for it, you can charge the seller your attorneys fees and costs. I have some experience in these cases and they usually are resolved on summary judgment.
Can I sell my home without ex wife's signature if she signed a quitclaim? Both names are still on mortgage?:
Judge ordered ex wife to sign quitclaim to marital home. She complied. But mortgage in both names. Deed recorded in my name only now. Can I sell without her signature ? I went thru bankruptcy to keep home & cannot refinance alone
Samuel’s answer: You should be able to sell the home without your wife's signature. If your ex-wife deeded the property to you pursuant to a marital settlement agreement or court order, then the fact that she is on the mortgage would not matter. I think your refinance question is seperate.
Can a resident owner place a trespass warning against a non-resident owner when the resident property is the center of a suit?: A piece of property was left to three daughters. It’s been probated and one daughter has resided there since then, the other two daughters recently filed a complaint for partition. The answer hasn’t even been filed yet and we’re I side of the 20 days. One of the non-resident heirs is represented by an attorney, but contacted the resident heir personally tonight to say she’d be entering the home tomorrow with a contractor. This same person was trustee of the resident sister’s share of life insurance and claims the is spent but has provided no accounting of the same. Do probate attys take these cases on contingency of sale of home? All three parties agree to the sale.
Samuel’s answer: This is not a probate question but a real property/partition question. All of the sisters presumably have a right of entry into the property. If you are going the partition route, you need a real estate litigator to handle the case.
