You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Once the closing has taken place, you own the property. I do not understand how the Seller can back out now. The title should have been transferred and keys provided to you at closing.

You need to consult with a qualified real estate attorney immediately. The seller does not have any right to take the property back or to move back into the house. You have legal rights which can be enforced in a court of law.

Follow Mr. Jay's advice.

Re: Seller backing out of contract

These guys are correct. I would personally change all the locks and move in. Getting them out will be more complicated than keeping them out.
