When purchasing a single or multi-family house in New Jersey, many Buyers do not want to spend the money on a property survey, which can range from $750 to several thousands of dollars depending on where the property is located and the size of the property. While surveys are not required by law in New Jersey, some lenders may require that a Buyer have a survey performed as part of the loan process.
To probate a Will in New Jersey, the Executor named in the Will must take the original Will, along an original, sealed death certificate to the Surrogate in the county where the deceased passed and complete the necessary forms to probate the Will. But what of the Executor cannot find the original Will? The process becomes a bit more entailed and may require the assistance of an attorney.
Most real estate contracts include a provision for the Buyer to pay a deposit, also called an earnest money deposit, which is a portion of the purchase price paid generally after attorney review is concluded, and held in the trust account of one of the attorneys or the title company until the time of closing or proper termination of the contract. If a Buyer fails to close on the real estate transaction without the excuse of an applicable contingency (i.e., the Buyer was denied a mortgage, there was an unsatisfactory home inspection), the Buyer may be deemed to be in breach of contract. Most Sellers are under the impression that they can automatically retain the Buyer’s deposit; unfortunately that is generally not the case.
