A deadline list is useful only when each date can be traced back to the contract and its triggering event.

Key takeaways

  • Capture the event that starts each period.
  • Record the required notice channel and recipient.
  • Preserve delivery evidence and current status.

Build the tracker

Extract inspection, financing, appraisal, title, disclosure, objection, cure, closing, possession, and termination dates. For each item, record the source page, trigger, calculation method, responsible party, notice method, due date, and evidence required.

Review for conflicts

Compare dates in the main agreement with amendments and notices. Flag periods that depend on an undefined event, conflicting versions, or a calendar rule that needs professional interpretation.

Maintain it

Update the tracker when a notice is sent, received, waived, extended, or disputed. Keep the original deadline and the reason for any change.
