Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

consumer contract

I signed a ''Home Improvement Contract'' with a contractor to remodel my home, construction to begin upon ''permit issuance & funds availability'' ''binding on the heirs, executors, and assigns of the parties.'' If I sell the home, will the new owner be bound by that contract, or may they use their own contractor?

Sigh. The time to investigate the contractual terms and have them explained to you is -before- you sign the contract. The people you sell to are your "assigns," so you have to tell the buyer of this clause. I hope you at least hired a licensed contractor.

Yes. The seller will be bound. And if they do not go through with it, the contractor could sue you.
