If that is what the sellers want then that is what you have to agree to in order to buy the house. Not sure of your question, but they may have tax reasons, or some requirements to settle an Estate. Either agree to it or walk away.

It depends. The statute of frauds may come into play but generally, a contract can be amended by mutual agreement. To have a mutual agreement you have to meet requirements of a contract but this can often be done in a email.
The statue of frauds requires signatures in certain situations... View More

You do need to contact an attorney. Depending on the circumstances, in many circumstances, the initial deposit needs to be held in a trust account and failure to properly account for the deposit can be theft. Further, it could also be a fraud and/or breach of contract issue. Regardless, you should... View More

The decision to engage in litigation should be economically rational. From the explanation above, it appears that the damage resulting from the original landscaping contractor's has been assessed at about $11,000 (the cost of fixing the errors).

A Colorado attorney could advise best, as you have state-specific construction and engineering codes in a project like this, but you posted two weeks ago. One option is for the job to be examined by someone with legal and technical experience with such project to explore options, determine the most... View More

The heirs could not sue based on a right claimed by, through, or under the decedent.
If a person has a claim in his own right—and not because he is an heir of the decedent—he can still pursue that claim. The hold harmless wouldn’t apply in that instance.

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. It may require closer examination as to what is meant by company-sponsored - does it mean contribution, or a program affiliated with the company? This needs to be clear. A quick consult with a local attorney who... View More

It sounds like you will need to pursue this in Ohio. Jurisdiction attaches where the person who passed away lived when they died. Since your mother did not live in Colorado when she died, Colorado would not have jurisdiction over this matter, so you could not purse this here.
