But I have used a CFO (Contract for Option to Purchase) for many years.I wrote about the CFO here http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/3/blog_posts/25788-cfo-and-a-leaseRE: The CFO - The key to this is you use - a lease and - a contract for option to purchaseIt is a landlord tenant relationship with the leaseYou have to finish the lease as a condition for the CFO.The Option is drawn ahead of time and held in escrow for the buyer, and the buyer has a short time to get the mortgage.The Option is not in the possession of the end buyer until the lease is finished (addresses the equitable interest issue).Conclusion:If you are Licensed in California:Do not close LO assignments on the kitchen table with no witnesses or notary.Realize that the courts will always side with the inexperienced Seller or TBer and not you the REIDo close these in the Attorney's office in California with all the disclosures and releases of liability.There are alot of lawsuits in California.

I have never witnessed such pompous attitudes in my lifetime....

To correct the problem, I was told by a probate attorney's assistant (because of my prior experience as a legal secretary) that I should prepare a small estate affidavit, having the document signed, notarized by all siblings and two witnesses.

I'm not an expert but do have some good experience in residential real estate and have never been accused of lacking creativity when it comes to acquiring houses.

Both parties and the witness/notary?
