   • When a buyer passes away before closing, the contract they signed is also still binding. The buyer’s estate is obligated to all of the contractual duties that the buyer entered into prior to death. The buyer’s estate, like the buyer, may still have rights to terminate the contract based on the terms of the contract.

   What happens to a real estate contract if a person dies?

   • At common law, where a contract was for “personal services”, the death of the party providing those services would “frustrate” the contract making it impossible to perform. For example, a man’s promise to marry was not held to be binding after his death (Mc Bride SCR 202). This is not the situation for Real Estate Contracts.
