Contracts
Is my daughter obligated to give back money for couches she sold since they were never picked up?
My daughter sold some couches to another party for $400. They paid for them and asked if we could store them until they got their new apartment. My daughter then purchased a new couch for herself with the money received from the sale. Then the party called and said that they decided not to move and wants their money back for the couches since they have not picked them up yet. Is my daughter required to give them back their money? Their claim is that the couches are not in their possession so the sale is not final.
What should I do to ensure that the contract I signed on a time share is cancelled?
I SIGNED A LEASE WITH OPTION TO BUY FOR A TIME SHARE IN FLORIDA. I OPTED TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT WITHIN THE 10 DAY CANCELLATION PERIOD. I USED THE ONLINE FORM FROM LEGALZOOM.COM. I HAD THE FORM NOTARIZED AND MAILED THE FORM CERTIFIED RETURN RECEIPT. I AM STILL WITHIN THAT 10 DAY PERIOD. IS THERE MORE I SHOULD DO TO PREVENT THE LEASING COMPANY FROM SAYING THEY DIDN'T GET THE NOTICE?
What are my options to have funds held in trust until arbitrator can help resolve issues?
I have a situation where I am being asked to close on a property that was jointly owned by myself and ex-spouse. Some time ago the realtors asked if they could drop the price of the condo since we had received no offers since August 2008. I agreed, but the ex-spouse refused. The divorce decree stated the property (an ocean front condo) was to be sold, with full cooperation by both sellers. We received an offer from a buyer around the middle of January 2009 and my ex-spouse refused to take the offer unless I payed her more than the half that the divorce decree states is the way the profits were to be divided. Once again, the decree also states that there was to be full cooperation in the selling of the unit. Since, as we all know, the market is in the dire straits that it is and we had received no other offers in the prior 5 months, I and the two real estate agents involved thought the offer was fair, and that we should accept the offer. My ex-spouse and the agents then cooked up the idea that I should pay her,(the ex-spouse) an additional $10,000 to get her to sign. The agents presented this to me and pressured me to accept this. I refused to this obvious contradiction to the original divorce decree. The agents then told me that I had 24 hours to decide or the buyer would walk. It was a cash deal with no contingencies. I reluctantly under, what I feel, is duress agreed to sign a form stating that I would pay ex-spouse $10,000 if she would sign the sales agreement. She and the agents forced me to sign this document before the ex-spouse would sign any documents. The closing is today. I would like the title company that is doing the closing to hold the total amount in trust, since I feel that my ex-spouse is in violation of the divorce decree, so that I can take it to arbitration, which the original decree states is how all disputes are to be handled. What are my options?
Is an oral contract legal and binding?
If the tenant and landlord have a verbal agreement that the tenant will install new carpet at the termination of the three-year lease does this constitute an oral contract and a legal amendment to the written Rental Agreement under Hawaii law?
What recourse do I have to obtain the good paid for by the fundraiser?
