I think you are standing on quicksand and you know it. I'm very sorry to hear of your husband's severe health issues and I hope he has a recovery.
The issues... it appears you are totally unfamiliar with handling closings or home purchases and you should have contacted a real estate attorney immediately when your husband was stricken. Along with indoor leaks and poorly operating AC, I question as to whether a termite maintenance contract is in effect or if that is also an issue. Good luck if you close on this property. You'll know shortly if you've purchased a real lemon or a workable house. |

Again, my recommendation is to hire an attorney with the goal to cancel the sale, get your deposit refunded, and DO NOT sign any closing documents.

Agree. At this point, it seems you are over your head. How is your husband going to sign the closing papers? And, is he in the mental capacity to do so? You need a lawyer ASAP. I suggest Dean& Dean, llp.

Quote:
A seller's agent, also known as the listing agent, has a fiduciary duty solely to the seller they represent. This means they must act in the best interests of the seller, provide full disclosure, maintain confidentiality, and promote and protect the seller's interests above all others. The seller's agent owes the buyer only a limited "standard of care" or obligation to treat them honestly, but does not have the higher fiduciary duty that would require putting the buyer's interests first. If the seller's agent is also representing the buyer in a dual agency situation, then they would have fiduciary duties to both parties. However, this dual representation creates inherent conflicts of interest. Many advise against dual agency and recommend that buyers and sellers have their own dedicated agents to fully represent their respective interests. |

And yes, all of that could be because of her unfortunate circumstances. Hopefully things improve for her. |

April 2021: hubby just had a stroke.
May 2023: hubby just had a heart attack AND they're moving. May 2024: hubby just had a stroke AND they're moving. In the past couple of years she's known her husband has serious health problems. She's also "experienced" health issues herself as of a few years ago. Yet they have enough energy and physical capability to deal with the stress of moving, having rooms and windows added to homes, having a couple of pools built in different homes... But she doesn't know how to acquire moving boxes, and doesn't know how to find a lawyer. Something isn't adding up here. |

I'd negotiate with the seller. They have to fix the AC anyway. Most reputable places around here can do a complete AC replacement in half a day. As for the roaches, get in touch with a good pest control service, they take care of that stuff pretty quickly.

Dad small stroke just after build of second house with a pool 2 years later mild heart issues week of closing on third house. Dad decided best to downsize, Dad had a TIA, 3 days prior to sale. It wasn’t until he died that I realized my Mom had zero input into any decisions. My Dad had all those issues, in his German weird upbringing the spouse never allowed to make any decisions, own car, have a job. She never had any input on buying, selling or moving. We were not allowed to help or offer any opinions I was so taken back when I found nothing was in my moms name or even listed my mom. Not utility bills, mortgages, cars, or the deed to the house. Had never written a check, or any knowledge of banking, investments or debt. She would be just like OP, no idea how to close on a house, if there was problem, hire a lawyer, who to contact to help downsize, and pack. I thank my grandparents, helped us, stand on own feet, let us make major decisions. Even if it caused great issues with Dad, who then disowned us, because we decided all by ourselves, without his permission
