Question 1: Homer, 86, and Helen, 88, live in a home they bought 30 years ago. They also own a two-acre meadow adjacent to their home. They have long been retired; he was a plumber, while she worked for the Department of Veterans' Affairs. To all appearances they are able to take care of themselves: Homer often walks around the neighborhood, feeding the birds, while Helen maintains the checkbook (although she only enters the check amounts and doesn't keep a running balance). However, their next door neighbor Donna checks in on them daily and helps them figure out cable TV boxes, how to turn off the hazard lights in their new jeep, and understanding what to do about those "free checks" that keep coming in the mail. They also became friends with other neighbors, Cathy and Joe. Cathy is a realtor, and Joe is a mortgage lender. When they moved into the neighborhood 7 years ago, they told Homer and Helen that they would be interested in buying the meadow if Homer and Helen ever wanted to sell it. Recently, Homer knocked on Cathy and Joe's door and said he and Helen wanted to sell the meadow. When asked for the price, he said "$22,000". Cathy and Joe wrote up a formal offer to purchase the property for that amount, and it was accepted by Homer and Helen. Homer and Helen did not have a realtor or legal counsel advising them.
