Imputed Notice
Imputed NoticeInformation regarding particular facts or circumstances that the law permits to affect the legal rights of a person who has no firsthand knowledge of them but who should have learned of them because his or her agent or representative had direct knowledge of that information and a duty to report it to him or her. imputed notice
imputed noticeThe concept that notice to one person will be considered notice to another in a special relationship to the first person.For example,notice to an attorney is the same as notice to the attorney's client.In circumstances allowing oral contracts (usually not the case with real estate),if a seller makes an offer and a buyer accepts that offer via a communication to the seller's agent,then the acceptance makes a binding contract as of that moment.The seller cannot withdraw the offer before actually learning of the acceptance,because the contract has already been formed when the agent received the notice. |
