FAQ
It is a seller-issued Arizona real estate form used to terminate a Realty Agreement for Sale when the buyer defaults by failing to make required payments, and to demand immediate surrender of the property. It documents forfeiture, sets the stage for potential legal actions, and lists details such as the effective date, parties, and property information.
Yes, when the buyer has defaulted under the Realty Agreement for Sale, the seller can terminate the agreement using this form, which declares forfeiture and demands immediate possession. Complete it with the Effective Date, names and addresses of the seller and buyer, property details, recording information, and signatures (notarization).
In this Arizona form, a forfeiture clause arises from the buyer's default and is documented as a Declaration of Forfeiture under the Realty Agreement for Sale. The form then demands immediate possession, allowing the seller to reclaim the property if the default remains unresolved.
The buyer bears a greater risk under this form because forfeiture ends the buyer’s rights under the Realty Agreement for Sale and requires surrender of possession. By documenting the default and demanding possession, the form facilitates termination and reduces the buyer's leverage to avoid loss of rights.
The form is specifically used to terminate a Realty Agreement for Sale when the buyer defaults; it is not a general cancellation tool. It requires accurate completion of the listed components—effective date, parties, property details, recording information, the declaration of forfeiture, the demand for immediate possession, and seller signatures.
This document combines two actions— a declaration of forfeiture due to buyer default and a demand for immediate possession—within the same form, and it incorporates the Realty Agreement for Sale details, including recording information and notarized signatures. A simple notice of default typically only communicates a default and may precede further steps.
