"Hired for a settlement contract to be written out in legal manner. Ammended contract as well to add clauses that we had not written.Efficient, professional. Said the time-frame would be about 4 business days and he did deliver on that in fact worked through the weekend and mlk day. Offered one final revision as well as a call to finalize language of contract. The final document delivery was more than we expand also he went above and beyond to deliver extra documents we may need. Would highly recommend."

I represent a diverse mix in a vast array of specialties, including litigation, contracts, compliance, business and financial strategies, and emerging industries. Credit for this foundation of strength goes to those who taught me. Skilled professors and professionals fostered my powerful educational and professional background. Prior to law school, I earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration & Accounting from Peru State College. I received a Master of Business Administration degree from Chadron State College. My ambitions did not stop there. While working full time as a Senior Accountant for the University of Missouri, Columbia, I achieved the lifelong goal of becoming a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Mizzo provided excellent opportunities and amazing experiences. Managing over $50M in government and private research funding was a gift. As a high ranking professional in the Department of Research, I was given priceless insight into the greatest scientific, journalistic, medical, and legal minds in the world. My passion for successful growth did not, and has not stopped. I graduated summa cum laude (top 3%) with a Doctorate in Law, emphasizing in urban, land use and environmental/toxic tort law from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. This success lead to invaluable experiences of serving as Hon. Brian C. Wimes' judicial clerk for the U.S. District Court for the W. D. of Missouri, as a staff editor/writer for UMKC Law Review, and as a litigation and transactional attorney with Lathrop GPM (fka Lathrop & Gage). My professional and personal network is expansive, with established relationships throughout the U.S. and overseas. Although I engage in legal practice all over the country, I maintain law licenses in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Federally, I hold licenses in the W.D. and E.D. of Missouri and the District of Nebraska. To offer extra value, efficiency, and options, I maintain a CPA license and am obtaining a real-estate brokerage license.

Quitclaim Deed

California

Asked on Oct 3, 2023

Do quitclaim deeds expire?

I recently inherited a piece of property from my late uncle. I have recently received a quitclaim deed for the property, but I'm not sure if it is still valid. I am interested in selling the property, but I need to know if the quitclaim deed is still valid and will not expire.

Sarah S.

Answered Nov 3, 2023

A quitclaim deed typically maintains its validity over time, but there are key factors to keep in mind: Proper Execution: To ensure the quitclaim deed remains valid, it must have been correctly executed when your late uncle transferred the property to you. This usually entails the presence of a notary public or witnesses and adherence to your state's legal requirements for deed execution. Recording: For safeguarding your interests and confirming the deed's legitimacy, it should be officially recorded with the relevant government office, often the county recorder's office. Recording serves to establish a public record of the property transfer.

Quitclaim Deed

Connecticut

Asked on Oct 4, 2023

Pros and cons of using a quitclaim deed?

I recently inherited a property from a family member, and I am trying to figure out the best way to transfer the title of ownership to me. I have heard of quitclaim deeds, and I am interested in learning more about the benefits and drawbacks of using a quitclaim deed to transfer the title of ownership.

Michael C.

Answered Oct 31, 2023

Here are some of the main pros and cons of using a quitclaim deed: Pros: - It's a relatively quick and easy way to transfer property title. The process is simpler than other deed types because no warranty of title is provided. - It can help avoid probate if transferring title from a deceased owner. The property can be transferred without going through probate court. - It's generally less expensive than other deeds. A quitclaim deed is usually considered the simplest and cheapest deed option. - It clears up potential title clouds. It can resolve ambiguities in the property's title history. Cons: - It provides no warranty of title. The person transferring the property does not guarantee they actually own the property. - No liability protection for the recipient. If there are defects in the property title, the recipient has no legal recourse against the grantor. - It may not transfer all interests. Mineral rights, easements, mortgages, and other encumbrances may still exist after the transfer. - The grantor must have valid interest to quitclaim. If the grantor doesn't actually have rights to the property, the deed may be void. - It can facilitate fraud if misused. Care should be taken that the grantor has rights to the property. In summary, a quitclaim deed can be a fast and low-cost option to transfer property title, but provides less protection than other deeds. It's important to be sure the grantor has valid rights to avoid potential title issues. Consulting a real estate attorney can help navigate the pros and cons.

Real Estate Option Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Feb 26, 2025

Can a Real Estate Option Agreement be terminated if the seller sells the property to a third party before the option period expires?

Can a Real Estate Option Agreement be terminated if the seller sells the property to a third party before the option period expires? I entered into a Real Estate Option Agreement with a seller, giving me the option to purchase their property within a specified time frame. However, before the option period expired, the seller sold the property to a third party. I am now unsure of my rights and whether I can enforce the option agreement or seek any remedies for the seller's breach of contract.

Jerome L.

Answered Apr 8, 2025

Hi there, If you had a valid and enforceable Real Estate Option Agreement, the seller likely breached that agreement by selling the property to a third party before the option period expired. Here’s what you should know: Your Rights Under an Option Agreement: An Option Agreement is Legally Binding: Once you pay consideration for an option to purchase property within a specified time frame, the seller is legally obligated to keep that offer open. They cannot sell the property to someone else during that time without breaching the agreement. The Sale Does Not Automatically Terminate the Option: The seller's transfer to a third party does not cancel your rights under the option agreement. In fact, the third party may have taken the property subject to your option, especially if the agreement was recorded or the buyer had notice. You May Be Entitled to Legal Remedies: Your options may include: Specific Performance: Forcing the sale of the property to you if it is still possible. Monetary Damages: If specific performance is not available, you could pursue damages for breach of contract. Equitable Remedies: Depending on the circumstances, there may be claims for fraud, bad faith, or interference with contractual relations if the third party knew about your option. Recording the Option Agreement Strengthens Your Claim: If your option was recorded in the public land records, it puts all third parties on notice of your rights. Even if it wasn’t, the seller and potentially the third party may still be liable based on what they knew. I recommend speaking with an attorney as soon as possible to review your agreement, assess the timeline, and determine the best course of action based on your state’s laws. If you are in Georgia or need guidance on how to proceed, I would be glad to help. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Real Estate & Contracts Attorney

Mortgage Loan Agreement

Pennsylvania

Asked on Feb 28, 2022

If I am separating with someone I co-own a house with, not married, are there any repercussions to me moving out of the house before we have a signed agreement?

I bought a house with my boyfriend, we are now breaking up. We built the house and moved in in October 2022. It's too soon to sell and make money off of it. I am willing to move out, but I want the cash that I initially put into the house during settlement. We are attempting to come up with an agreement, which I would like an attorney to review before I sign.

Ryan W.

Answered Mar 1, 2022

Whether there are any repercussions depends upon the circumstances surrounding your purchase. For example, whether or not a mortgage exists can affect the situation. If you are on the mortgage, it would not matter what agreement you sign with your boyfriend, you are still on the hook for the mortgage unless you can negotiate with the lender to remove yourself from the mortgage. It may require your boyfriend to refinance. You are certainly making the right move by having an attorney review any agreement between you and your boyfriend. You just need to consider the third-party lender and how that may also affect you.
