Friedman covers every issue to help you implement every kind of contract of sale.

Packed with major new coverage of contracts, conveyances, and title insurance, Friedman on Contracts and Conveyances of Real Property, published by the Practising Law Institute, offers all the legal analysis and technical guidance you need to draft, negotiate, and finalize rock-solid contracts of sale.

Examining common law principles and thousands of relevant statutes and court decisions, Friedman ensures you have a clear understanding of what you must do and must avoid doing at every stage of the process, from contract inception to the closing. In so doing, Friedman minimizes the possibility of missteps that create delays, trigger disputes, undermine deals, and increase your liability exposure.

Friedman On Contracts And Coveyances Of Real Property outstanding coverage of real estate contracts and conveyances is enhanced by significant new material on option contracts, the treatment of earnest money, sellers' disclosure duties with respect to off-site conditions and stigmatizing events, deed covenants of title, the modern rules of deed interpretation, and conservation easements. You'll also find extended new guidance on how to address title insurance issues in the contract of sale and the relationship between deed covenants and insurance coverage.

Including case examples that spotlight what can go wrong when contract drafting is faulty, Friedman shows you why:
Failure to take "extreme care in drafting price clauses" can be costly;
Boilerplate remedies provisions in complex deals can create legal traps;
Shoddy drafting of survey provisions increases the chance of unpredictable outcomes;
The omission of a financing condition can increase a buyer's risk in all-cash contracts;
Offer and acceptance problems can arise when parties employ multiple contracts;
Failure to provide time periods for the issuance and delivery of building permits can cause disputes;
Negligent misrepresentation can result when a seller signs a contract of sale without reading its terms;
Minor language variations in informal letters can lead to unenforceability.
