Possession After Closing Clause Samples
The "Possession After Closing" clause defines when the buyer is entitled to take physical possession of the property after the sale has officially closed. Typically, this clause specifies a set period—such as a few hours or days—after closing during which the seller must vacate the premises, and may outline any conditions or compensation if the seller remains beyond the agreed time. Its core function is to clearly establish expectations and prevent disputes by setting a definitive timeline for the transfer of occupancy from seller to buyer.
