Description

There are various types of attorney fee arrangements such as time based, fixed, or contingent. Time based means a fee that is determined by the amount of time involved, such as so much per hour, day or week. Fixed means a fee that is based on an agreed amount, regardless of the time or effort involved or the result obtained. Contingent means a certain agreed percentage or amount that is payable only upon attaining a recovery, regardless of the time or effort involved.


With a contingent fee arrangement, the lawyer receives no fee unless money is recovered for the client. Upon recovery, the lawyer is paid an agreed-upon percentage, usually ranging from an amount equal to 25 to 50 percent of the amount recovered. A written fee agreement should specify the costs and expenses to be deducted and whether such costs and expenses are to be deducted before or after the contingent fee is calculated. Contingent fee agreements are generally not permitted for criminal cases or domestic relations matters.


Even if there is no recovery, however, the client is still responsible for court costs (filing fees, subpoena fees, etc.) and related expenses, such as telephone charges, investigators' fees, medical reports, and other costs.

FAQ

What does contingent mean in real estate? Contingent means the seller has accepted an offer, but certain conditions need to be met before the sale closes. This means there's still a chance that the sale could fall through and the house goes back on the market, should those conditions go unmet.

So contingent sales are simply when you, the buyer make an offer on a property, subject to them selling their home. In the contingency document, there is a release clause, and a release clause simply gives the seller the opportunity to cancel a contingent buyer if they accept another offer.

The buyer has to provide one, or more, signed Contingency Removal forms. Each one removing, or more, of the contract contingencies. Once the buyer has removed all of them in writing, they may no longer receive a refund of their deposit.

The contingencies are not waived automatically after 17 days. However, elapse of the 17-day period allows the seller to deliver a Notice to Buyer to Perform (NBP) giving the buyer two days to remove contingencies. If the buyer doesn't, the seller may cancel.

A home inspection contingency is one of the most often waived conditions. This is because details of the home's condition may already be publicly available or accessible through the seller. Waiving a home inspection also doesn't impact their ability to get financing.
