Q: Owner of the house received cash from nephew and decided that my son buy's it back from him. Deed is still in the owner
A:
Your question is unclear. But ALL real estate transactions need to be done in a written agreement. ‘Owner decided’ is never enough. What does the written agreement state?
If you’re unsure, you need to immediately seek local legal representation.

A: Not sure what you are asking here, but hopefully you have a written purchase agreement that a competent real estate attorney could review to give you the much needed feedback you request. In Michigan, as well as throughout most of the nation, terms of a real estate transaction need to be placed in writing. Verbal agreements, with very few exceptions, are not enforceable.
