Define Null and Void in Real Estate

Null and Void: 

"Null and void" means that something is completely invalid and has no legal effect. This could be a contract, agreement, or other legal document that's not enforceable for some reason.

Example: 

For example, if you sign a contract to buy a house but it turns out that the seller doesn't actually own the property, the contract would be null and void because it's not legally enforceable.

"Null and void" means it's not real,
A legal document that can't appeal.
If it can't be enforced, it's a done deal,
And you'll need to find another ideal.
