Legal Answers
72 Questions Answered
- Q. Is it illegal for a company to charge for a house they don't own?
- A: Without seeing the full deeds and the purchase contract, together with any amendments to that contract, any answer would just be a guess.
Please see a local real estate lawyer and ask them to give you an informed opinion after obtaining and reviewing all of the facts.
Good luck.
- Q. Do I owe my realtor a commission if he provided buyer names after contract expiration?
- A: Without seeing the full actual contract, together with any amendments to that contract, any answer would just be a guess.
If the commissions are substantial, then it may be worth your while to see a local lawyer and ask them to give you an informed opinion after obtaining and reviewing all of the facts.
Good luck.
- Q. Proving seller knew a car issue before "as is" sale in Delaware.
- A: Well for starters, probably don't post about your knowledge in public forums such as this one.
But seriously, if you knew about the problem isn't the correct question. Did you actively hide or conceal the problem or give an untruthful answer when asked about it?
If you did those things, you may have some liability.
If you didn't and the car was truly sold "as is" with a bill of sale indicating as much, then you may have little to no liability.
