Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Washington
form 17 -washington
I am looking to get out of a real estate deal - I received form 17 from thte seller, but it was signed by only one of the sellers (2 names are on the title) - is this enough to claim that I never received a properly executed Form 17 and would this be grounds to cancel the contract. I also did not sign this and send it back tho the seller, is this grounds to get out of the contract?

Re: form 17 -washington
Read your contract. Review what you ageed to, in writing, when you signed the real estate purchase and sale contract. If it says that both sellers have to sign and they haven't and they didn't properly execute the Form 17 disclosure, you may have grounds to rescind the contract.
No reasonable attorney is going to offer you an opinion without reviewing the contract itself.
There is a dance called "offer and acceptance". You offer, they counter, you counter back, they accept or decline to accept. Where you can stop this process depends on exactly what has transpired.
I'm glad that you are trying to understand this now rather than two years from now, but seriously, you need to make an appointment and go see a local attorney who practices in real property sales and purchases.
Avvo.com is a useful tool that can help you locate the right attorney.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
