Q: Are you legally bound to sell a property that was listed if you never signed a contract, never cashed the deposit check?

The property was due to be subdivided. It was still not subdivided at the time of listing because we thought it would take a long time to find a buyer. We were wrong. We negotiated a price, but nothing was signed, and a deposit check was not cashed.

I have handled many cases like this. This may be a classic case of auto fraud. Many dealers obtain an AutoCheck shortly after they purchase a car from an auction or customer with the hope that it does not show auto damage.

Did you die from the operation? Did your mother know that there is a risk of death in any operation? If the answer to the first question is no, and the answer to the second question is yes, there are no damages and you don't have a right to sue, whether or not the SOL has tolled.
