Verbal Land Lease with Option to Buy, Seller Now Deceased

This holds doubly true with real estate where it not only needs to be in writing, but notarized and recorded with a full legal description. You therefore need to discuss this with an experience real estate attoreny as soon as possible. There may be certain circumstances where you may have certain equitable rights without a contract, such as if you lived on the property in question.
