Benjamin V.
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.
Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers
Real Estate
Agreement To Rent Or Lease
Illinois
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.
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.
Real Estate
Subordination Agreement
Texas
What is a Subordination Agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a property and the lender has requested that I sign a Subordination Agreement, but I am unsure of what this entails and how it may affect my rights as a borrower. I want to understand the purpose and implications of a Subordination Agreement before signing it, as well as any potential risks or benefits involved in agreeing to it.
Darryl S.
The exact situation is unclear as Subordination is usually when you are selling rather than buying. Subordination means putting something in a lower priority compared to something else. In legal and financial terms, it usually comes up when talking about loans or claims. When one party agrees to “subordinate” their claim, they’re saying: “I’ll wait in line — you get paid before I do.” There must be multiple loans or claims and bank is establishing the order they'll get paid.
Real Estate
Property Transfer Agreement
Texas
I have purchased a house from individual and now I'm trying to see what I need to get the deed into my name
I purchase a house for $7,500 from an older gentleman that I work with and it's been 2 months since I've paid it off and I still haven't received any kind of paperwork to get the date in my name from him so now I'm trying to get it started what do I need to do
Judi P.
Although I am not licensed in Texas, I have extensive knowledge and experience in real estate law and can provide you with general advice about your issue. In a nutshell and without knowing the particular details of your transaction with this older gentleman, you will ultimately need to obtain a legal document from him conveying title to the property into your name.
Real Estate
Building Lease
New York
What's a 'triple net' in a building lease?
I recently signed a lease for a commercial building and I noticed that there was a clause in it that referred to a 'triple net'. I'm not sure what this means and if it could have any implications for me as the tenant. I'm hoping to get some clarity on this as I want to make sure I'm fully aware of my obligations under the lease.
Craig C.
The tenant pays all expenses in connection with the property, such as insurance, taxes, upkeep and maintenance.
Real Estate
Quitclaim Deed
Georgia
How enforceable is a quitclaim deed?
I recently inherited a piece of property from a family member and have been told that a quitclaim deed is the only way to transfer the title to my name. I am concerned about the enforceability of this document and would like to understand the potential risks and benefits associated with using a quitclaim deed. I am also curious about the legal requirements for making a quitclaim deed valid.
Bobby H.
In theory, any writing in which an owner intends to transfer propery that is adquatedly described and delivered to the transferee is enforcable against the GRANTOR. Thus, a quitclaim deed is generally a valid deed, provided that it has been executed with the requiste formalities for purposes of recording in the public records, and adequetly describes the property. Generally, the term "quitclaim" simply signifies the the grantor does not promise to defend the grantee against any third party title claims. To be properly executed, the deed generally must be executed by the grantor in the presence of the notary, notarized, and signed by the notary and one additional witness. Without meeting these requirements, the deed may not be accepted for recordation in the property records, which also makes the deed "enforceable" against third parties, because it service as notice to those who do not have a previously recorded interest in the property of the grantee's title. In sum, a deed, including a quitclaim deed is generally enforceable against the grantor, but must be executed with the above formalities AND recorded to be "enforceable" against, or serve a notice to third parties of the new owner's interest in the property.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
