Storm-Proofing Your Contracts: Force Majeure & Risk of Loss Explained 9.8.26

Hurricane season does not pause your pending transactions.

Join Real Estate Attorney Cheri Kuenn for a practical breakdown of what happens when a natural disaster impacts a property that is already under contract. This class will walk through Force Majeure provisions, Risk of Loss clauses, insurance considerations, and the steps Realtors should take when a property is damaged before closing.

You will leave with a clearer understanding of how to protect your clients, manage expectations, and navigate storm-related disruptions with confidence.

Topics include:

  • What Force Majeure provisions mean for your pending deals — and their limits
  • How Risk of Loss clauses determine who bears responsibility when a property is damaged before closing
  • Insurance considerations that affect closings after a storm
  • The steps to take immediately when a property under contract is damaged
  • How to manage client expectations and keep transactions on track during hurricane season

Here's How It Works:

Simple Submission: Using Payload, you can send your EMD funds. The platform is designed to ensure your transaction is both secure and hassle-free.

Transparent Fee Structure: A nominal processing fee of $12.00 will be applied to your transaction. This fee is disclosed during the submission process.

Instant Confirmation: Once your transaction is completed, you’ll receive an immediate confirmation email from Payload. Our accounting team will also be promptly notified, usually within minutes of the transfer.

Specifically for EMD: Payload is exclusively for submitting your Earnest Money Deposit ONLY. It is not to be used for final closing proceeds or any other payments.

Deposit Limit: To maintain the integrity of our process, we have set a maximum deposit amount of $100,000.00 for EMD submissions.
