During a brokerage meeting in Champaign, Micah Turner waits until after the attorney-review period ends to send the first written objection and asks whether the objection is still timely under the standard clause. What is the best answer under current Illinois law or practice?

Correct Answer

B) No. The objection must be delivered within the review period to preserve attorney-review rights.

The value of the attorney-review clause depends on timely notice within the stated review window; late notice generally misses the clause-based right.

Answer Options
A
Yes. Any objection is timely if sent before closing.
B
No. The objection must be delivered within the review period to preserve attorney-review rights.
C
Yes. Oral notice during the review period is always enough even if the clause calls for written notice.
D
No. Objections are never permitted once the parties sign the contract.
