TREC 1-4 contracts offer a variety standard addenda to address the most common concerns sellers have regarding their real-estate sales. However it is possible that some transactions may require additional addenda or provisions not covered by the TREC 1 1-4 standard.
For example, a seller may have certain heirship objections to title that need to be addressed in order for the sale to go through. There may be claims of encroachments, protrusions and other problems that the seller has on the property. These should be addressed. In such cases, the seller should be allowed to address the objections within a set time.
The buyer could be entitled to a full refund of the money paid if the seller doesn't have the right to resolve such objections within the given time. This is particularly true if the seller was not required to make any expenditure in order to remedy such objections.
A custom addedendum to special provisions can be an effective tool in dealing with these types issues. A special provisions addendum can be written by an attorney who is knowledgeable about these matters and is able to tailor the language of the addendum to the unique needs of the seller.
