I notarized lease agreement but they had wrong description of land. They resent lease agreement with correct description but I do not notarize. In this time period the lease of land has gone up in value. I say original lease no good and I want the higher price. I did not cash check. They say since it states in the lease more or less land the original lease is good. Does anyone know of a law I can use to state my case?
I’m not experienced in this, but I do believe that in Contract Law, if the land or legal description is incorrect, then you have an automatic “out.” In other words, they cannot lease land from you that is not yours.
But, I am not a lawyer or an expert, so you would probably want to at least run it by a lawyer.
Good luck.
I also am pretty sure what happened makes the contract void through no fault of yours. They should have been sure of the land description before sending you the check, which you did not cash. I believe there is a time limit on the check to be cashed. Also, check with your lawyer and make sure he knows what he is talking about!
Good luck also, Jarold.
Sorry about the email!
I am curious about what was incorrect about the land description?
