At a training session in Naperville, Quinn Bennett assumes that attorney review automatically replaces every inspection, appraisal, or financing deadline in a standard Illinois residential contract. Which answer is correct?

Correct Answer

D) That assumption is wrong because attorney review and other contingencies are separate contract mechanisms unless the form language or later written modifications tie them together.

Attorney review is one contract feature. Inspection, financing, and appraisal contingencies remain distinct unless the contract or later written changes expressly connect them.

Answer Options
A
That assumption is correct because attorney review automatically extends every other deadline in every Illinois contract.
B
That assumption is correct because appraisal, inspection, and financing contingencies are all the same clause under Illinois law.
C
That assumption is wrong only in Chicago contracts, not elsewhere in Illinois, under the rule stated in this choice.
D
That assumption is wrong because attorney review and other contingencies are separate contract mechanisms unless the form language or later written modifications tie them together.

Novation is the substitution of a new contract for an existing one, or the replacement of one party with a new party, with the consent of all parties involved. The original party is completely released from all obligations.

Offer and acceptance is the process by which one party proposes specific terms for a contract and the other party agrees to those exact terms, creating mutual assent. This mutual agreement, also called a meeting of the minds, is an essential element of every valid contract.

An option contract gives one party the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to purchase or lease a property at a specified price within a specified time period. The buyer pays option consideration to keep the option open.
