1.                 SFL 60649, Hawley disso:

 

Pursuant to Civil Code §1657, an obligation which does not have a specific time requirement shall be completed within a reasonable time. The Court finds that a reasonable time has passed since Respondent became obligated to buy out Petitioner’s interest in the real property. Therefore, if Respondent does not buy out Petitioner’s interest or refinance the property to remove Petitioner from the mortgage, the property must be put on the market to sell within 90 days. Both parties are obligated to fully cooperate with all sale requirements.

 

 

2.                 SFL 60061, Langton/Corona:
