A good question list makes review more consistent. It should expose missing facts, conflicting documents, and deadlines that need evidence. It should not imply that every answer can be resolved from the contract alone.
Key takeaways
- Confirm the parties, capacity, property, and consideration.
- Trace conditions, notices, amendments, and closing requirements.
- Record unresolved items and assign them to the right professional.
Questions about the deal
Are the legal names and signing capacities correct? Does the property description match the title commitment and recorded instrument? Are the price, deposit, financing terms, included items, and closing date consistent across the contract and addenda?
Questions about performance
Who must obtain inspections, title work, approvals, insurance, or repairs? What triggers each duty? Which notice method applies? Where is proof of delivery stored? What happens when a deadline falls on a non-business day?
Questions about risk
Which blanks, conflicts, or missing exhibits remain? What must a qualified attorney address about default, damages, cancellation, taxes, recording, or state law? Keep those questions visible until answered.
