Is A Contract Considered Ratified if Date of Ratification is Missing?
How did a ratification date get overlooked?
My broker would kick it back to me saying it isn't valid without a date.
However if there are lots of other dates and proof of delivery/acceptance, there's probably some ammo for the courtroom.
The biggest problem? The buyer is representing himself. Any RE attorney can verify that the majority of RE lawsuits involve an unrepresented party.
A question came up at the law firm today with a buyer attempting to cancel a Virginia real estate sales contract and would of course want his Deposit back simply because he can. Based on the missing "Ratification Date" on on the contract, did he really have a ratified contract to begin with? Can he actually walk away because this specific date is missing? The Seller's Broker doesn't think so, and the Buyer represented himself with the Seller's Broker preparing the contract for both parties. This of course seems to being going towards the Court Room but is there cause?
Your opinions and comments would be greatly appreciated.
