Contracts
In an Alaska purchase agreement, a 'possession date' that differs from the closing date means:

Explanation
When the possession date differs from the closing date, the seller typically continues to occupy the property after closing under a post-closing occupancy agreement (seller rent-back). This arrangement must be negotiated and documented, usually as an addendum to the purchase agreement.
