Legal FAQ: Extending the Option Period

It’s the last day of my buyer’s option period. The buyer and seller are still negotiating repairs and want to extend the option period. How do we do that?

Use TREC’s Amendment to the contract (TXR 1903, TREC 39-8) and fill in an amount acceptable to both parties in Paragraph 6. To ensure the extension of the option period is valid, be sure to include an amount the buyer has paid seller for the additional option fee. Leaving it blank or putting zero dollars may lead to an unenforceable amendment.
