another buyer made a higher , full offer. The sellers original counter offer to the first buyer was accepted verbally, but the contract had not been signed by the sellers before another offer by a second buyer was presented. Can the seller renege on a verbal acceptance of an offer?

Contracts to sell or convey property in North Carolina must be in writing which is the offer and the acceptance. Unless it is in writing, it is generally considered non-enforceable. It pays to move quickly to get a signed contract for competitive real estate. Now, if you had incurred any expenses,... View More 
I moved from Philadelphia to Charlotte with my family after a friend of a friend promised to rent one of her rental properties to me. She could not give me a lease yet because she had a tenant moving out but she said I could move in as soon as they were out. So I transferred my job and uprooted my... View More

Leases for less than three years do not have to be in writing to be valid in North Carolina. However, since she specifically stated that she was not giving you a lease yet, it would likely be hard to prove you had a lease. There are many properties to rent in Charlotte, so its harder to show... View More
The inspector indicated the wells must be re drilled and installed to code. The company will not respond. I want to hire a new well driller to correct the problem and get my money refunded from the first company. The wells have had problems since installation last summer.

A contracts, collections, business litigation or construction lawyer would be appropriate. A construction lawyer is not required and would probably result in higher rates. You should proceed forward with this matter as soon as possible.
We have a promissory note however it was not notarized and she is trying to avoid paying me. We had a verbal agreement then put it in writing when she moved out, but she has had the vehicle for 5 months and has never made a payment on it.

Probably not from the facts you have stated. You can only repossess if you have a security interest in the vehicle, meaning your lien for the monies you are owed under the promissory note is noted on the actual title to the vehicle. If you sold the vehicle without any security or a lien on it, you... View More

It will depend on the terms of your lease. Generally, rent is set for the term of the lease (in most cases, one year). Unless there is provision in the lease that allows it to be raised during the term, then the answer is no. If you don't have a written lease, than most likely you are month to... View More

Many facts will be relevant and you will want to discuss this with an attorney. Ultimately your defenses to this non-compete will be determined by a Judge and their opinion on whether the time and territory is overly broad or if another defense exists. It does sound like the time and territory... View More
I paid an invoice to have a 12 mil liner installed under my newly constructed house. Now I have determined that i did not receive the product that I paid for. Also the warranty that I have in hand from the company shows a 15 yr warranty on the liner installed to be free from holes and tears and to... View More

This is actually a contracts issue. You have a few options on that. One, contact the company that installed the product and see what they will do for you. If they do not make good, you could contact the manufacturer (assuming they are different companies) and make a complaint with them. You could... View More
Got a written quote for $2500 worth of landscaping work for around the house. Asked the landscaper if work and money could be divided in two and the front half of the house done.

It would be difficult for him to prevail in court based on what you say, but his facts may be different. That said, it will be hard for him to claim breach of contract if he never did the work, assuming he was to be paid after the work was done. You may want to file a complaint with your... View More
Many times patients request refunds because they don't like how something looks or feels. This is very subjective. If the work was done to the standard of care how do you deal with this. Patients sometimes use state boards as a means to extort money from practitioners. How do you avoid this?

Talk to a local health care lawyer. One idea is to address this in a consent form they sign before you provide services.

I worked as her personal assistant and she has paid with a personal check before. I contacted her and asked for the money she owed me and now she is acting as though she will not make the situation right.

I'm not sure I understand the question. If the total purchase with tax is over $5, you owe the difference. If less than $5, you should get change back.

You will have to check your franchise agreement to determine whether their termination of the contract was justified. Generally the franchise has drafted these agreements in their favor.
His end .how do i get my money or the business back
I entered into a writtin agreement to sell my part of a business. he has not and refuses to pay. what can I do that wont cost me a lot of money.
answered on Oct 23, 2014
Unfortunately there are not many options that don't cost money. You could sue the buyer for specific performance which would require him to go through with the deal. You also could sell to someone else and potentially recoup damages from the original buyer if you can't get as good a price.

This may depend upon the reason you are returning the vehicle. Under N.C.G.S. 25-2-608 you can revoke your acceptance of the vehicle if you find an undisclosed defect.
answered on Oct 23, 2014
With a few exceptions you can have a verbal contract that is enforceable. The bigger issue is proving it.
The vehicle back so he can sell to someone else. We also found out the vehicle didn't belong to him. It belong to a relative of a friend. What do we do?
answered on Oct 23, 2014
The manner in which he is selling the vehicle may be illegal if he is holding himself out as a dealer. If you only have a verbal agreement, and there is no transfer of the title, he may have rights in the vehicle. You may want to contact an attorney to try and work through the issues.
that it is not a legal lease but we signed it and the rental property signed it. Wouldn't the new lease still be legal?
answered on May 30, 2014
Based on the limited facts you provided, I am assuming that you had a written lease agreement that expired on 09/11/13. You stayed in the property after that date and continued to pay rent. Several months later, you signed a new lease agreement for a one year period. If these are the facts, then... View More
