My practice involves counseling businesses and individuals on a variety of contracts, such as business formation, technology/IP, real estate, leases, and even domestic relations agreements. Much of my practice is dedicated to litigation. As such, I approach contract and transactional work from a litigation perspective by advising clients of the risks involved in failing to develop proper contracts. It takes more than knowledge of the law to be a good lawyer. A good lawyer is honest and forthcoming with clients and has a counseling ethos. And, to me, a good lawyer stands in the shoes of the client when considering how to best serve that client. Whether my client is a business or an individual, I am passionate about helping my clients understand their rights, responsibilities, risks, and possibilities.

Property Lease

California

Asked on Mar 2, 2026

I have rent to own lease agreement the owner passed away and his conservator sold the property what can I do

I explained in the first box

Matthew K.

Answered Mar 3, 2026

After the sale, did you continue living there and paying the lease amount? It's difficult to expand on my answer without reading the agreement (it cannot be oral). Assuming the agreement is what you say, you might consider recording a Lis Pendens on the property. That will get everyone's attention, I can assure you. Probably also consider a quiet title action. None of that advice is necessarily relevant; it depends on what the agreement says.

Agreement To Lease

Georgia

Asked on Feb 2, 2022

When it comes to subleasing an apartment or rental, do I need specific written permission from the owner, or as long as the lease agreement doesnt forbit it, am I okay to proceed?

I am in the process of potentially leasing a home in Savannah, GA for a period of 8 months. My goal is to sublease this home as an Airbnb and make a profit. The leasing agreement has no language forbidding subleasing the property, but it also doesnt have express written permission either. I'm just wondering if that means I can proceed with my plan.

Meghan T.

Answered Feb 4, 2022

This is a topic I get asked about very frequently. In Georgia, the right to sublet residential property is based on the express (written) and implied (inferred) language of the lease. Generally, if subleasing is not mentioned, then there is no restriction on subletting. In any event, you may want to at least have a discussion with your Landlord concerning what you plan to do. This can avoid lots of headaches for you and your guests later down the line.

Quitclaim Deed

Ohio

Asked on Oct 3, 2023

Precautions before signing a quitclaim deed?

I am a homeowner and I am in the process of selling my house. My buyer has requested that I sign a quitclaim deed. I understand that this deed will transfer my interest in the property, but I want to understand the legal precautions I should take before signing this document. I want to make sure that I am fully protected and do not have any legal liabilities after signing the quitclaim deed.

Jeffrey K.

Answered Oct 6, 2023

A quitclaim deed conveys the sellers ownership interest in the property to the buyer with no guarantees of clear title to the property. In contrast, a warranty deed guarantees to the buyer that the seller holds clear title to the property. From a seller’s perspective a quitclaim deed is preferable in that the seller is not providing a warranty of clear title to the buyer. A warranty deed protects the buyer against title defects and is thus preferable to the buyer. If your buyer is getting a owner’s policy of title insurance, that would be sufficient to protect the buyer from defects in title.

Mortgage Modification Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Jan 3, 2022

Do you handle Forbearance in Ga?

We currently were in the Forbearance program. My father passed away he is the only one listed on the title, however him and my mother are still listed on the loan. The bank will not let us do a loan motification since my father is deceased . They are wanting the missed payments all at once or they say we loose the house

Meghan T.

Answered Feb 4, 2022

Hello. First, I would like to say I am sorry for your loss. Regarding your question, I can provide a more general type of answer since more specifics are needed to determine the rights of you and your mother. The ability to continue with a forbearance program under these circumstances depends on the type of program applied to this loan. For example; the COVID hardship forbearance program applies to ALL federally backed and federally sponsored mortgages (HUD/ FHA, VA, USDA, Fannie Mae/ Freddie Mac). Depending on the loan type, a total of 18 months of forbearance may be applied to the loan. If the bank applied a different type of forbearance program, there may be different stipulations and mandates. Therefore, it is important to know what type of forbearance program is being applied and what the stipulations are. In any event, forbearance is an agreement by the bank to not do something (such as place the loan in default for missing a mortgage payment) for some stipulated period of time. The mere fact that your father is the only person listed on title and has passed away, may not change that agreement especially if the loan is federally backed. This is because although many loans and forbearance agreements contain a due on sale transfer provisions, federal law prohibits enforcement of these provisions for federally backed mortgages when the transfer is death related. Thus, depending on the circumstances, the bank may be prohibited from immediately accelerating (requiring "the missed payments all at once").

Agreement To Rent Or Lease

Illinois

Asked on Jan 20, 2024

Is new owner supposed to honor lease from previous owner in Illinois

New owner says he won't honor lease agreement from previous owner and is requesting to increase monthly rent.

Darryl S.

Answered Jan 26, 2024

It would be advisable to have an attorney review your lease to see if that lease is terminated by sale of the property. You may also want to see the Purchase Agreement for the property to clarify if the buyer of the building has an obligation to continue honoring the lease.
