...Whenever a transaction of property takes place in the real estate industry, there is a purchase and sale agreement form that needs to be signed and agreed upon by both the buyer and seller. The form will have the terms and conditions, as outlined in Exhibit 2, of the sale. This is the same case whenever a landlord, should Charlie Leonard proceed to purchase the property, leases out his/her property to tenants; an agreement must be signed between the lessor and lessee that details all the terms and conditions of the lease. Both parties’ names will be listed on the top of the sale agreement and each will be classified as the “Seller” and “Buyer”. These two terms are used for the rest of the agreement to make transparent each side’s responsibilities. The buildings, structures, improvements, and fixtures are important as property age over time and so in certain circumstances, parts of the property (ex: windows, doors, fences) will need to be replaced. Again, the seller and buyer will discuss which side will be footing the cost of these repairs. Leonard, in Exhibit 1, has budgeted repairs to be around 5%, or roughly $2,200. One of the most important parts of the sale agreement is the purchase price, agreed upon by both the buyer and seller. A security deposit is necessary to show that the buyer is committed to this transaction while the payment is due whenever the transaction of the deed takes place. Title deeds also play an important factor as they consist of documents that show...

...evidenced by deed of sale. Modina then filed Complaint for Recovery of Possession with Damages before the Regional Trial Court of Iloilo City. On the other hand, Merlinda, the wife of Ramon, presented also a complaint which is to make the deed of sale between her husband and Modina null and void. ISSUE: The first issue raised was that whether the sale of the parcel of land should be nullified or not. Second is that whether the petitioner, Modina, was a purchaser in good faith or not. Third is whether the decision of the trial court was in excess of jurisdiction or the court's acting beyond the limits of its power; and lastly whether or not only three-fourths of subject lots should be returned to the private respondent. RULING: The court declares the sale of land between Chiang and Modina as null and void. This is because under Art. 1490, husband and wife are prohibited to sell properties to each other. Not being the owner of the land, Ramon Chiang cannot sell the land to Modina. The sale by Ramon Chiang in favor of Modina is, likewise, void and inexistent. As for the second issue, the court concluded that Modina is not a purchaser in good faith. It was found that there were circumstances known to Modina which rendered their transaction fraudulent under the circumstances. Circumstances which indicated of bad faith on Modina, is that he asked his nephew to investigate the origin of the property and the latter learned that the land formed part of the properties of Merlinda’s...

...claims. Gaite executed a deed of assignment in favor of a single proprietorship owned by him. For some reasons, Fonacier revoked the agency, which was acceded to by Gaite, subject to certain conditions, one of which being the transfer of ores extracted from the mineral claims for P75,000, of which P10,000 has already been paid upon signing of the agreement and the balance to be paid from the first letter of credit for the first local sale of the iron ores. To secure payment, Fonacier delivered a surety agreement with Larap Mines and some of its stockholders, and another one with Far Eastern Insurance. When the second surety agreement expired with no sale being made on the ores, Gaite demanded the P65,000 balance. Defendants contended that the payment was subject to the condition that the ores will be sold. Issue: (1) Whether the sale is conditional or one with a period (2) Whether there were insufficient tons of ores Held: (1) The shipment or local sale of the iron ore is not a condition precedent (or suspensive) to the payment of the balance of P65,000.00, but was only a suspensive period or term. What characterizes a conditional obligation is the fact that its efficacy or obligatory force (as distinguished from its demandability) is subordinated to the happening of a future and uncertain event; so that if the suspensive condition does not take place, the parties would stand as if the conditional obligation had never existed. A contract of sale is normally commutative and...

...Deed of Sale vs. Equitable Mortgage Posted on November 11, 2009 by lexposition • Posted in Civil Law • Tagged mortgage, sale • Under the Civil Code, an agreement that, on its face, looks like a sale may be considered an equitable mortgage. Article 1602 of the Civil Code provides: Art. 1602. The contract shall be presumed to be an equitable mortgage, in any of the following cases: (1) When the price of a sale with right to repurchase is unusually inadequate; (2) When the vendor remains in possession as lessee or otherwise; (3) When upon or after the expiration of the right to repurchase another instrument extending the period of redemption or granting a new period is executed; (4) When the purchaser retains for himself a part of the purchase price; (5) When the vendor binds himself to pay the taxes on the thing sold; (6) In any other case where it may be fairly inferred that the real intention of the parties is that the transaction shall secure the payment of a debt or the performance of any other obligation. In any of the foregoing cases, any money, fruits, or other benefit to be received by the vendee as rent or otherwise shall be considered as interest which shall be subject to the usury laws.

...in courts. Stare decisis is a term used in the common law to mean that decisions made in court cases should be based on previous decisions. It simply means that the decision should stand. It therefore means that in business, this is a principle that can assure a business person of the ruling of a case that is similar to the previous. Rulings in business cases are hence made predictable. Bailment It is where a person delivers his personals to someone else for safety keeping. Bailor is the one delivering property while the one receiving is the bailee. It involves delivery of goods to somebody else in trust creating a contract either express or implied. The bailee must be willing to possess the property physically but is not entitled to use it. In business transactions, the bailee has both the duty of care and responsibility to re-deliver the property. Statute of frauds This is a requirement that certain contracts like sale of goods that exceeds a certain value, land sale or a guarantee of debt be made in writing and then signed to prevent perjury and fraud. Two sophisticated business corporations may enter into a joint venture say of about 10 years. There are different negotiations that they engage in and one party promises that it will join the negotiations in time. In case the party fails to honor the negotiations, the second party (business partner in the venture) can use statute of frauds in a court case as an affirmative defense in breach of an agreed contract.

...Section 58(a) of Transfer of Property Act as "the transfer of an interest in specific immovable property for the purpose of securing the payment of money advanced or to be advanced by way of loan, an existing or future debt, or the performance of an engagement which may give rise to a pecuniary liability" It works on the simple idea of lien over another's property and is effected as an instrument between the lender and borrower. The borrower seeks a loan against the security of his property. This is done by transferring an interest of the immovable property to the lender and it entails pecuniary/financial liability as well. The person who advances loan against security is referred to as the 'mortgagor' and the one who seeks loan is the "mortgagee". Mortgages can be on any freehold or leasehold immovable property. Definitions: 1. Debt / Mortgage Money: The principal borrowed from the lender. The borrower in addition to the principal has to pay the interest levied on it. 2. Redemption: It means that the interest transferred to the mortgagee during the transaction at the time of the execution of mortgage would be vested back in the mortgagor at the time of recovery. 3. Mortgage Deed: It is a legal instrument in accordance with the mortgage law in India and duly stamped under Indian Stamp Act, 1889. It is legally binding on both parties in the mortgage deal. It contains details of the property owner, location of the property, size of property, amount of mortgage, interest...

...examples include mortgage, deed of trust, security deed, or trust deed. The security instrument identifies and encumbers the real property used as collateral for the note. It is notarized and recorded with the county in which the property is located. Once recorded, it secures an interest in, or lien against, the property. In title theory states, a mortgage is used and it conveys ownership to the lender. A clause in the mortgage provides that title reverts back to the borrower when the loan is paid. In lien theory states, the mortgage creates a lien only on the property and the title remains with the borrower. The lien is removed when all the payments have been made. With a Deed of Trust there are three parties involved; the Trustor (borrower), the Beneficiary (lender or note holder), and the Trustee (third party holding title to the property, normally a title company or attorney). With a mortgage document, there are only two parties involved, the borrower and the lender. With a Deed of Trust, the borrower conveys title to a trustee who will hold title to the property for the benefit of the lender. The title remains in trust until the loan is paid. Certain language is vital in a security instrument. When reviewing, look for the following terms: Due on Sale Clause: This clause allows the (note holder, lender, etc.) to demand immediate payment of the note if the property is sold without their written consent. The purpose of the due on sale clause is to prevent an...
