Act d'Compromis

[CharlieO]

I recently placed an offer on a property completed the compromis and paid the deposit.  I have since found out that the property was purchsed by the owner and his wife, wife deceased.  They are currently unable to lodate one of the dependants, others have completed signing.  Is there a timescale to how long I have to wait before completion or can I cancel the purchase.  Having difficulty with the agency in providing details for the notaire or are these details once both parties have completed the compromis.  Any one advised pls the procedures.  Regards Charlie
