FAQ

Less usual forms of consideration include promising to give up a legal right, called forbearance (“I promise to give up drinking until I am 25”), and the creation or change in a legal relationship.

Elements of Consideration Agreeing to a “legal detriment” means agreeing to do something that one is not obligated to do or to agree to refrain from doing something that one has the legal right to do. The latter type of consideration is known as a “forbearance.”

You can negotiate the details of your forbearance agreement with your lender, but typically, the initial forbearance period lasts between three to six months. The end date will be documented in your ​​forbearance agreement, meaning you'll start making full payments again at that time.

It is well settled that forbearance or an agreement to forbear prosecu- tion or institution of legal or equitable proceedings to enforce a legal or equitable demand, either absolutely or for a certain time or for a reasonable time is sufficient consideration.

Types: Consideration could be a promise, performance, forbearance, or property with legal value, but the economic benefit is not required. A gift or gratuitous promise cannot be a consideration for they have no bargaining. The past performance also cannot be a consideration as there is no exchange.

Sidway (NY Ct. App, 1891): Uncle promises nephew $5K if he doesn't sin until he's 21. Nephew follows through. Yes K; forbearance counts as consideration.

What types of forbearance are available, and when are they applied to my loans? Forbearance TypeHow Long Mandatory Forbearance May be granted for no more than 12 months at a time, but you may request another mandatory forbearance if you continue to meet requirements Administrative Forbearance Depends on the situation1 more row

For example, forbearance can be helpful if your home was damaged in a natural disaster, you had unexpected medical costs, or you lost your job. Forbearance does not erase or decrease the amount you owe on your mortgage. You have to repay any missed or reduced payments.

Which of these is an example of forbearance? A movie star signing an endorsement contract with a soda company wherein they agree to not drink the cola beverages of a competitor is an example of a forbearance agreement.

The undersigned shall forever refrain and forebear from commencing, instituting or prosecuting any lawsuit, action, claim or proceeding before or in any court, regulatory, governmental, arbitral or other authority to collect or enforce any Released Claims which are released and discharged hereby.
