A land contract should outline when payment is due, what the terms are, and who takes care of maintenance. It should also outline who pays for utilities and taxes.

What should I do if a hospital violates an organ harvest agreement?

First you should review the contract that you signed to make certain the hospital didn't cover its actions by the provisions set forth in that contract. Also, determine if your condition that her organ donation would not affect her viewing at the wake was mentioned in the contract. If you still have questions you should contact an attorney who specializes in contract law who can review your situation and explain your rights and options.

On a land contract in Ohio can the lesses resell the property?

A land contract is just like any other contract, complete with contract law principles. No one can sell the property until either the contract is either fufilled or breached. If it is fufilled, then it becomes the property of the one purchasing the property and after they have successfully completed the contract, they then are free to sell it to whomever they wish. But, if the contract is breached, it is then still the original owners and they can do as they wish, keep the property, sell the property or find another individual willing to enter into another land lease contract. So, while the property is tied up in a land lease contract, no one can sell or buy it until either a satisfaction or breach of the contract is committed.


If someone purchases a lot of land and is under contract to purchase that land and it is deemed bad land after signing the contract how do you discharge this contract?

You would execute the inspection contingency clause in the contract that permits you to terminate the contract and reclaim your deposit after the inspection turns up material defects that you will not accept. Additional comment: That's why it is important to consult an attorney BEFORE you sign a P & S Agreement.


What should you do if seller never recorded deed after land contract?

Generally, a land contract, or contract for deed, is an installment contract for the purchase of land. Bank financing is not involved. The seller finances the sale and retains ownership of the property until the price has been paid. The buyer makes installment payments and when the land has been paid in full the seller should record the deed. If a bank was involved in the transaction the bank would require that title be transferred to the borrower. The problem with this type of transaction is that title is not established in the buyer as it would be in a normal sale. The buyer must rely on the seller to maintain title to the property without incurring any further encumbrances and transfer it once the full purchase price has been paid. If the land has been paid in full and the seller has not recorded or will not record the deed you will need to speak with an attorney in your area about judicial remedies under your particular state laws. You will need to provide proof that the land has been paid for as agreed in your contract. You should address this situation ASAP.
