Handling a promissory note in a small estate is indeed different from transferring a title for a vehicle. The note, especially with an outstanding balance, is considered an asset of the estate and should be included. Since your late husband was owed the balance at the time of his passing, this debt...

If the contract explicitly stated that closing had to occur on or before September 22, 2023, and the seller failed to close by that date without your mother's consent for an extension, then the seller may have breached the contract.

I agree with Mr Smollens. It appears from your question that time was not originally made of the essence in the contract (since you said the seller’s attorney “filed time of the essence”), and accordingly their not closing on the date may not have been a breach if you did not provide the...

Your mother should have had an attorney since the contract likely required that closing be on or about September 22, 2023, and if the Seller could not do so, the Purchaser, your mother, had to make a TOE demand to force a closing. But as matters developed, your mother likely breached the contract.... View More

I’m not complete sure what your question is. Generally a court does not consider evidence on a motion to dismiss but rather the sufficiency of the complaint itself. So the court would assume that all the facts alleged in the complaint were true for the purpose of the motion and then decide if,... View More

Yes, you can. Your first option is to serve them a Time of the Essence ("TOE") notice, which gives them the 30 days to close. Your next option, is to sue them for specific performance which would force them to close per the terms of the contract.

Maybe. Depends on the terms of the contract. But, it would take a lawsuit, and whether you can collect the costs of a suit or even a judgment, is speculative.
