contract to deed

Posted By: not sure on 2005-07-06
In Reply to: Check the link inside. - Part time investor

Not sure but think it means the seller has to give 15 days notice in writing and able to prove default in payments and a date is set for closing shortly thereafter for settling the mortgage. If the buyer cannot come up with the financing to purchase from the seller, the seller by law is allowed to keep all monies paid thus far and the buyer's only recourse at the point is court.

I may be wrong but I think this is how it goes. Good luck.

    But once the deed is done...
    The single mom takes on the brunt of the responsibility. It's not the kid's fault his mom made a mistake when picking his father. Sometimes it is the best thing for the children if the home was unsafe, etc.
    Name on deed
    Are you on the loan?  Are you prepared that is something happens, divorce, or death that you will have no equity in the house, no place to live and will probably have to move immediately?  So if you are paying anything towards the payment even with working and paying other bills, you are not entitled to anything should you split or he dies.   So be prepared for that.  But again, I could be wrong so I would definitely check with a lawyer but I would think that if your name was on the mortgage loan, then it would have to be on the deed and vice-a--versa if there is a mortage loan.   May I ask why you don't want to be on the deed????
    Deed
    But if you are on the deed with "right of survivorship" all of it goes to you and it does not have to go through propate. 
    Have you ever tried to do a good deed

    and have it come back and slap you in the face?   I tried to do something, at a significant financial consequence to me, and now I'm the bad guy and I've got a complete stranger e-mailing me telling me everything I did wrong.  I know I should just blow it off, but I can't.  I trashed the e-mail and then deleted it from my trash and I don't store them on the server.  I didn't feel like I owed this person an explanation, but then I wanted to tell them nicely that they don't know the whole story and I made the best decision for all parties.


     


    Good deed...
    Certainly have - been there and back many times. I think everyone has, except for a few very self-absorbed people I am related to who have never lifted a finger to help anyone in their entire lives.

    When I had to work through the emotions you are feeling now, I just let myself fantasize about what I would say to the people involved. It helped me work through the hresentment and hurt I felt, but I didn't do or say anything to another person that could have just made things worse.
    doing a good deed
    I can't believe you did all that for her and she didn't even thank you! She must be a piece of work. I cannot believe how she can be so selfish not to realize all the work and expense you went through for her. And to then keep it up by not wanting you at the baby shower? She is one sick person. God help her husband and future children esp. if she treats them like she treated you. YOU are the HERO in all of this; just remember that. I cannot believe how greedy and rude people are becoming any more. Scarier, they continue to multiply. Life is hard enough without having to deal with people like her. Drop her; she does not deserve your friendship at all. What is the matter with WalMart? It shouldn't matter where you got ANYTHING for the shower.
    Put your name on the deed, just not the mortgage
    talk to a good loan officer at a bank about the difference.

    Sorry.. I meant DEED... I guess we are all a little
    slippery with our fingers tonight.. "dead", "greatful"...
    My response was to "deeply saddened". There are a lot of reasons to be sad in the world today; it's the thought that counts. To say that a company should never reduce their bonuses is unrealistic. It happens in all industries. My husband used to get a turkey at Thanksgiving -- now nothing. He also used to get a huge bonus at Christmas - last year he got laid off.
    Home deed question. sm
    Hubby and I are moving to a house. I have reservations about putting my name on deed, which I would care not to go into. Don't know if I'm giving away any rights or not to house.

    Wonder what are pros and cons if I put name on deed versus if I do not. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
    Since when is it name-calling to call a bad deed? Let the scammer take YOUR lines and
    see how you like it.

    Cheating -- it's what people ARE not just what people do. It means they do not believe the rules apply to them and they ignore them for their own personal gain.

    I could care less what you think if you're wanting to pat her on the back and say, "It's okay; we won't say anything ugly to you for your ugly actions." You go ahead and play Sunday School teacher. That's fine for you.

    A cheat, a jerk, a scam artist, a THIEF. That's what a cherrypicker is, PERIOD.

    Go on to Sunday School this morning...hope you feel better.
    In some states, if buying house and married, both names are legally required to be on deed. (nm)

    Contract/no contract -- same rights
    You do not have to have a written contract to take them to court.  All you have to do is to prove you have been providing  work to him, past statements/invoice will do that,  you just fill out the small claims forms and go to court.   But first of all I would personally go in and talk with someone about it.   Could be the office manager/bookkeeper and not the doctor that is not paying you.   He may not know anything about it.   And please do not  make the "joke" as above mentioned, that is very LOW class, tacky and not professional at all.  Especially if you are in a small area -- you need to conduct like a professional.  But call and make an "appointment" to talk with the doctor either in person or through a phone call.  Some doctors do not know what is going on in their office and perhaps the office manager wants to be paid first.  If the doctor does know, then in person or over the telephone inform him that you have no other choice but to pursue the debt just as they would if someone did not pay their bill and if that involves going to small claims court, then that is the route you must take.   Good luck.  I did take one to court without a contract and won. 
    Gift of gab is a gift in deed. Not having it has cost me dearly.
    I became an MT because of my interest in medical field, fascination with the work and yes, a lack of social skills. I really did think that my work would speak for me.
    Hence, the need for a contract
    and put it in writing that they have to give at least 2 wks notice or pay up! Wouldn't that be right? Business is business. I bet they wouldn't want someone doing them that way!
    No contract
    Actually I do not have a contract and usually do work whenever I want, just received an e-mail about the holidays and was not sure if I was actually "required".  Have worked for them for 3-1/2 or 4 years but have never received an e-mail about holidays.
    My contract

    gives me a 72-hour turnaround time.  I'm a contracted employee; therefore, responsible for my own taxes.  I download the reports on a disk and do not print them out. 


    This may have been around for a while, but I have never heard of it before.  Also, I would think it would be more of a local jurisdiction situation than state jurisdiction if you are working for the local police department.  I do not see what the problem would be ... you have a confidentiality agreement, just the same as with medical.  I will say, he went through the city attorney and others before proceeding. 


    If you have more questions, please feel free to email me.

    I've got one I've used for years,just fill blanks with all the necessary info. I could e-mail or fax it to you.
    contract
    I have been doing this nearly 20 years and have only used a "contract or agreement" once and have never had a problem with any of my accounts with payment, etc.  Guess I have been lucky but it has always worked for me.  The one time that I did one, they did not adhere to it and we still parted ways.  Now a days contracts are easy to break and expensive to fight. 
    contract
    I wonder if you would mind sending me a copy of your contract at radtrans@comcast.net

    Thanks much!
    If you did have a contract
    with this doctor, then you should enforce it. You should not just sit idly by and LET him do this to you. It isn't right and it isn't fair. Doctors thinking that most people don't have the money or the time to take them to court is the exact reason that they do things like this. You have to stand up for yourself. Don't be a doormat!!
    IC contract

    I recently received my yearly contract in the mail.  I am to sign and return it.  They have the amount per line filled in.  I was a bit disappointed to see that the rate did not change.  In other words, no raise. 


    I will probably just sign it and return it but for future reference how can I ask for more money and how much of an increase would be reasonable?    I am lousy at speaking up for myself!


    contract
    I have only had one contract in the 18 yers of doing this on my own and all that did was state what I provided and gave us a 30 day notice if either were to wishing to get out of using the service or providing the service.  And my accounts have been with me for 6 to 18 years so guess I am doing okay. 
    What's an oil contract for?
    I've never heard of such a thing.
    Oil contract
    We heat by propane and our bill, too, was going to go through the roof. I pay a little more for "will call" but we installed a wall propane ventless heater and it heats almost our whole house (one floor plan). The rooms that are cold get an electric heater; our little storage building has a wood burner. Like you, where does it stop???
    Oil contract
    This is a contract for a year's worth of fuel and the company locks you into a certain price, guaranteed. Otherwise, you usually have to pay more if you just call the company to fill up your oil or propane tank whenever you need it. However, you can beat this somewhat if you conserve and don't take their high priced budget deals. My budget was $80 last year; this year it was going to be $165 a month--for only ten months! I said no and we were very conservative here in Ohio, had a mild winter, though, and only used less than half of what we did the year before due to use of a ventless wall heater, electric zone heaters.
    Contract
    I don't understand your question about the contract ? ? I had to ask for a copy. They kept promising me a copy and promising me a copy. Finally I got one.

    As far as their divorce...they were not married very long when the show was taped. I have no clue if the show aided in their divorce or not. Kym and I are friends, but not that close of friends.
    No Contract
    I never signed anything when I started the job.
    I do have a contract
    I do have a contract that says I will be paid on the 1st and 15th. I agree that where they go and when they go on vacation is not really my business, other than the fact that I personally feel if they can't pay their bills, they have their priorities out of order. When they cannot pay their bill as contracted, their lack of priorities becomes my business. Yes, my obligations and financial commitments are my problem -- but it would not be a problem if they upheld their end of the contract. But, I agree that I will return the work in a normal timely manner so the monkey is on their back, so to speak.
    Contract
    A contract may or may not help you much.  I have worked both ways and all in all if the business goes belly up even with a contract you are basically out of the money.  When I have done a contract I simply state what I will and will not provide, time in which it is provided (TAT), etc.  I state what I expect from the company, what they will provide (paper, etc.) and make it very simple.  Again basically there is always an out if they don't wish to abide by the contract or want to break it or just not use your services anymore.  And in order to enforce the contract you will be in court just like you would be without a contract.   But it does make some feel better working with a contract - but again I have been lucky with my accounts and my IC's and we all work togeter and get the job done.   I always pay my IC's before myself and if there ever would be a problem they would know about it immediately even if the check is just one day late.    But just state what you want in the contract and you really don't need all that legal language a simple contract will hold up in court if it ends up there.  Only you know what you expect from your MTSO.   Good luck.   Patti

    Contract

    After working for a small practice for about 2 months, I was abruptly told one afternoon I wasn't a team player, they were letting me go, but gave me the transcription to do at home--I was and am grateful for the work.  I did have presence of mind to ask if I would have a contract, as this is all new to me--have mostly worked in-house, except for a short part-time job.  The office manager's reply was, "Oh....we trust you--I don't think we need a contract," which really irritated me--what about my trusting them?!  Now I wonder just what category I'm in.  IC or what??  I suppose I just don't want this office to think I'm a dummy and of course, need to protect my interests--this is my bread and butter--not a sideline job.


    I started looking for a sample contract here on MT Stars, but I suppose the required wording varies from state to state.  Does one have to have more than one client to be considered IC? 


    Appreciate any help!

    My contract
    My contract tells my docs that I am off on all holidays, including Christmas Eve and the day after Thanksgiving.  It also says if those holidays fall on a weekend, I will take either the Friday before or the Monday after as a holiday.  If they request transcription on those holidays, I charge double per line.  I've never had them complain to me on this at all.  I once had a STAT dictation on a holiday and the doc included a $100 bill in my envelope "for me being a pain in the butt," as he wrote on the note. 
    ? about an IC contract

    I am signing a contract for work as an IC.  It says Executed by Contractor at _____________, on ____________, 2006.


     


    I get the date part but what goes int the first blank? My address?


    If you are an IC then the contract
    you signed should stipulate how much notice to give.  If not, I would ask.  You may want to use them on your resume for future jobs.

    I have never signed a contract as an employee that I can remember, contracts are for independent contractors, thus a contract.
    Contract

    Even with a contract if they find your work "unsatisfactory" they can nulify the contract.  Even with a contract there is no reassurance that they will keep you and should they fire you unjustly do you have the money to go to court and what will you put in the contract to offset the fact that the "let you go before the expiratioin of the contract."    Even with a contract the one doctor might still "pick" as it seems like it is his nature so why take that with less money and still no reassurance that they will keep you.   I used to work with contracts but each time it came up for renewal there were negotiations, etc. and several times it prompted them to look elsewhere.  Now for the past 15 years have worked without one and barely lost an account to someone else, only death and retirement.  If this doc mainly picks at the bill just document all the work and stick by it.   Good luck


    contract
    Its a shame what these so-called companies do.  I really hope you are able to get the money you worked for!  I don't see how they sleep at night, but I guess they are okay with it as long as it does not effect their paycheck.  I recently had one lady hire me as an IC, but when I asked about a contract, she kept saying, "I'll get it to you in the morning, in the evening, sometime this week, etc." She wanted me to start working without a contract!  Then got angry with me when I refused to starting working without a contract!  I can't wait to get out of transcription full-time.  I still love the transcription itself, but I hate these companies with the bait and hook, practically begging for a raise, the broken promises, etc.  Sorry to go but its just really old.......................and you guys are the only ones who understand how it is.
    In your contract, specify exactly
    what you are going to charge them. If you would like the client to pay for the phone charges, then by all means, add it to their contract. Everything and anything is negotiable. Do not devalue your worth.

    Did you sign a contract with the first service stating you were not allowed to work for anyone else while working for her?
    Contract age?
    The only thing I can think of is if you are an Independent Contractor you may need to be 18. In most states, contracts are not binding with minors.

    I found when I had clients, especially private physicians, they were NOT agreeable to any contract. They usually feel like they are giving you a gift by just allowing you to type for them. Honestly..
    Then I would get a new contract.

    What does your contract say???? If
    it specifies which line count you are to use, then that is the one you use. Also, does it say you will have deductions for blanks? Read your contract.
    What exactly does your contract say?
    Usually there's an out clause that describes how either party needs to handle it if one wants out of the relationship.  You have a non compete?  That's the first I've heard of one in this business.  Go back to your source - your contract.  I've had some experience with non competes in the insurance industry, so feel free to e mail me if you want.  I may be able to answer some generic questions.
