  1. When is a Contract not subject to Equitable Conversion? When is a contract not subject to equitable conversion? This is a question that often comes up in business law, and the answer is not always clear. In order to understand when a contract is not subject to equitable conversion, we must first understand what equitable conversion is.Equitable conversion is the doctrine that allows a buyer and seller to treat certain future events as if they have already occurred. This is often used in real estate transactions, but can also be applied to other types of contracts.

  2. The doctrine allows for the transfer of risk between the parties and provides certainty in an otherwise uncertain situation. However, there are some situations where the doctrine of equitable conversion does not apply. In this blog post, we will explore some of those situations and try to provide some clarity on the matter. What is equitable conversion? In real estate transactions, “equitable conversion” is a legal doctrine that says the buyer and seller are, in equity, equally responsible for any loss or damage to the property from the date of the contract until closing. In other words, if the property is destroyed or damaged before closing, both parties are responsible for repairing or restoring it. If one party doesn’t uphold their end of the bargain, the other party can sue for breach of contract.

  3. When is a contract not subject to equitable conversion? A contract is not subject to equitable conversion if it is explicitly stated in the contract that there is no transfer of ownership of the property at the time of the sale.This type of provision is typically found in real estate contracts, where the buyer is only acquiring an option to purchase the property at a later date. If the parties do not agree to an equitable conversion, What are the exceptions to the rule? The general rule is that a contract is subject to equitable conversion, but there are a few exceptions. One exception is when the contract expressly provides that it is not subject to equitable conversion. Another exception is when the contract is for the sale of real property, because real property is not considered personal property under the law. Finally, contracts for the sale of certain types of intangible property, such as patents and copyrights, may also be exempt from equitable conversion. Texas Case Law In Texas, a contract is not subject to equitable conversion if the parties have expressly agreed that the property is to be sold “as is.” For example, in a contract for the sale of real property, the parties may agree that the buyer will take title to the property “as is” and that the buyer will not be entitled to any refund or credit if the property is not as represented by the seller.

  4. Equitable conversion does not apply to contracts for the sale of personal property, such as automobiles or furniture. In these types of contracts, each party usually retains ownership of the property until delivery has been made. Once delivery has occurred, however, title passes to the buyer and equitable conversion takes effect. Conclusion In general, a contract is subject to equitable conversion when it is for the purchase of property. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if the contract is for the sale of a business, it may not be subject to equitable conversion.
