Abstract

A method and system for financing the purchase of real property utilizing a conditional fee simple deed. Under this method a conditional fee purchaser and a conditional remainder purchaser enter into a conditional fee agreement, delineating the rights and responsibilities of each party with regards to the purchase of a residential property. The agreement includes a determination date, at which time, the conditional remainder purchaser will either receive the entire fee simple interest in the property or will receive a lump sum payment from the conditional fee purchaser for the conditional remainder purchaser's interest in the real property. The conditional fee agreement includes a list of conditions under which the property will pass directly to the conditional remainder purchaser prior to the determination date.
