For those of you with the Estoppel, an estoppel letter is a legal document
provided by the seller’s homeowner’s or condominium owner’s association,
outlining the current owner’s financial standing, past due balances, current
fees due and lists all future special assessments due. "Estoppel" generally
means a bar or impediment raised by the law, which precludes a person
from alleging or from denying a certain fact or state of facts, in consequence
of said person’s previous allegations or denials, or in consequence of a final
adjudication of the matter in a court of law. It is an equitable doctrine (as

instructional paragraphs at the outset of the assignment, you should
essentially correlate the 10 instructional paragraphs to the 10 blank
paragraphs in the template. You should delete the instructions from the final
