New York RS-3 Abandonment of Offering is a type of real estate transaction created to facilitate the transfer of a real estate property from a seller to a buyer. It is commonly used when the seller has already offered the property to a potential buyer, but the buyer decides not to purchase the property and the seller is unable to find another buyer. In this case, the seller can execute a New York RS-3 Abandonment of Offering to legally terminate the original offering and release the seller from the obligation to transfer the property to the buyer. There are two types of New York RS-3 Abandonment of Offering: voluntary abandonment and involuntary abandonment. Voluntary abandonment occurs when the seller willingly agrees to terminate the offering and return the buyer’s deposit, while involuntary abandonment occurs when the seller is compelled by law to abandon the offering and return the buyer’s deposit.
