💰 FAQ: What Happens to Earnest Money When a Deal Falls Apart?

Earnest money shows a buyer’s good-faith commitment to purchasing a property—but if the transaction doesn’t close, who gets the money?

The answer often depends on why the deal ended and what the contract says. 📝 If a buyer cancels under a valid contingency, such as an inspection, financing, or attorney-review provision, the earnest money may be refundable. If a buyer breaches the contract without a protected reason, the seller may have a claim to the funds.

⚖️ Because every transaction and contract is different, understanding your rights before taking action matters.

🔍 Title Search vs. Title Insurance: What’s the Difference?

They may sound similar, but they serve two different purposes in a real estate transaction. 🏡

📄 A title search examines public records to identify potential ownership issues, unpaid liens, claims, or other problems that could affect the property’s title.

🛡️ Title insurance, on the other hand, provides protection against certain covered title problems that may be discovered after closing, even when a title search was completed beforehand.

Both can play an important role in helping buyers move forward with greater confidence and fewer surprises. ⚖️

Debt Doesn’t Have to Define What Comes Next. ⚖️

When debt becomes difficult to manage, bankruptcy may provide a legal path toward financial relief and a fresh start.

For individuals, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 offer different approaches to addressing debt. Depending on your circumstances, either may also play an important role when facing foreclosure. 🏡

At JP Legal LLC, we help clients understand their options and determine which legal path may be appropriate for their situation.

Your financial challenges may feel complicated, but your next step doesn’t have to be taken without guidance.

🏡 FAQ: Who Is Responsible for Unpaid Property Taxes After a Sale?

Property taxes don’t simply disappear when ownership changes. So, who is responsible if taxes are still unpaid?

The answer depends on when the taxes were assessed, the terms of the purchase contract, and how they were handled at closing. 📝 In many real estate transactions, property taxes are prorated between the buyer and seller based on their respective periods of ownership.

⚠️ Unpaid taxes can also create a lien against the property, making it important to identify and address outstanding amounts before closing.
