I AM HAVING A BIG PROBLEM WITH TRYING TO OBTAIN A DEED.... TO THE LAND AFTER HAVING PAID THE LAST PAYMENT ON A LAND CONTRACT !....... WHAT IS MY RECOURSE ?...... THE SELLER IS IN FLA....AND NOW SAYS THAT I HAVE TO PAY HALF OF THE LEGAL FEES TO GET MY DEED ! ..... WHAT LEGAL FEES ? ..... THE LAND CONTRACT STATES THAT THE SELLER IS TO SUBMIT THE DEED ONCE THE FINAL PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED ! ..... I AM IN VERY CONFUSED !... PLEASE HELP ! .... THANKS !
Hello Chuck,
Thank you for your question.
This sounds like a legal matter.
When you entered the contract did you have an attorney review it? If so, contact that attorney for clarification. Your purchase terms should be in the contract.
If the contract says the seller is to send you the deed after the final payment then the seller must do that, but you may need to use legal steps to make the seller abide by the contract.
An attorney is your best bet.
