Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Nevada
Golf Communities
I plan to buy a house in a golf community. I have a question that brokers cannot answer.
What happens to home owners in a community if an owner of a golf course go bankrupt. Do they have a chance to be forced to make additional payments?

Re: Golf Communities
Depends on what happens. In a Chapter 11, they have to continue to provide services to force you to pay. You would need to get a Court Order to ensure this. They could however, reject the contract and you wouldn't have to pay but get no rights to the golf course.
That would also happen in a Chapter 7. A new company would buy the course in bankruptcy and it would be up to the owners to work out a new deal.
