Q: How do I get the seller to see there’s no post possession in our contract? I think his lawyer is giving him bad advice.
We closed last Friday, and bc the money came to him today he thinks he has 7 days from today because his lawyer keeps repeating it. Can he bar us entry? Can we demand keys? Make him leave sooner? Looking for options

A:
Did you really leave a closing without keys/possession and without a formal post-closing possession agreement?
What money did he receive today? I hope you're not talking about an escrow to ensure his performance.
I know you think HIS lawyer is giving him bad advice, but what does YOUR lawyer say?
A:
Prior to closing of title, the Purchaser usually inspects the property the day before. If Seller is still in possession, that should have been addressed prior to closing. I have my doubts whether this transaction was handled properly.
