Letters of Intent (LOIs) can be enforced in both real estate and business transactions. This is a surprising fact for most professionals since many of these types of documents have non-binding provisions.
Are letters of intent legally binding? By itself, a letter is non binding, and is not a substitute for a full legal contract. Neither party is held to the contents. One of the requirements for an agreement to be legally binding is that both sides intended to be bound.
Once they sign this agreement, they're tied to this buyer until the deal closes, the LOI expires, or the parties back out of the sale. Even if another buyer comes along with a better offer, the seller cannot pursue it.
Letters of intent are not legally binding, and don't extend full legal protection to contractual parties. However, if not stated clearly, they can become legally binding, might not always be desirable—especially if the agreement is still pending approval by both parties.
While LOIs are generally considered to be non-binding, the LOI may include language that stipulates specific sections of the LOI are binding between the two parties.
