Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana
There was a purchase agreement signed with $1,000 ernest money. Closing was scheduled for Nov. 27th. I was notified on the 17th the buyer had made an offer on another piece of real estate. They are pushing for me to sign a Mutual Agreement in order to receive the ernest money since they are in default of the contract. My original question was is there a time limit for signing the agreement in order to get the ernest money?

Unless there is a time specified in the agreement, a reasonable time period would apply.
