The real question is are you going to allow this homeowner to breach your contract without consequences? You have a contract, you have the right to enforce the terms of that contract and your expectations of profit therein.

She can give you permission to do it for her, but the attorney will probably need to see something in writing. You should double... Read more »

The heirs would have no present interest in the property, but upon the death of the last one, the home would pass to the heirs by operation of law and... Read more »
