I signed a land sale agreement and paid a deposit, but the seller keeps delaying the title transfer and won’t give clear timelines. I want to know if I can lawfully cancel the contract and recover my money, and what proof I need.

Hello. Yes. You can cancel or terminate the land sale agreement since failure to issue you with a title amounts to breach of the agreement. Ordinarily, the agreement has remedies but also under the law you can ask for interest, general damages and costs for breach of the agreement. We cam assist you in the next steps not only to get back your money but also get damages and interest to it.
