In my thirteen years of practice, I've had the opportunity to argue cases in state, federal, and tribal courts; in subjects as diverse as gaming, land tenure, water rights, treaty rights, finance, employment, criminal defense, conflict of laws, and tort (among others). But the real value I brought my clients came through avoiding litigation, fostering relationships, and developing long-term strategies.

Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers
Real Estate
Real Estate Lease Agreement
Colorado
Can I break a commercial lease if landlord stops providing heat?
I have been renting a commercial space for more than ten years. There have been consistent issues with heating and AC, as well as a leaking roof. For two weeks now there has been a major issue with the heater—it is not working. I have filed two maintenance requests, the first of which said the issue was handled. I just found out today (14 March) after reaching out a lot that the heater needs parts that are back ordered and won’t be available until 7 April. This is the last straw for me. I am wondering what the chances are of getting a letter about breaking the lease and being given time to find a new space. Any advice is helpful, and if this is possible I would love to get a quote.
Jane C.
It depends on the terms of the lease. The apartment is not habitable at the moment, so you should at least get a rent abatement. You should have a Colorado attorney review the lease.
Real Estate
Letter of Intent
New York
Can a Letter of Intent be legally binding?
I am in the process of negotiating a business deal with another party and we have exchanged Letters of Intent as a preliminary agreement. However, I am unsure if this document holds any legal weight and if it can be enforced in case of a breach. I want to understand the legal implications of a Letter of Intent and whether it can be considered a legally binding contract.
Arthur S.
Short answer is yes...provided they contain the basic elements of a binding agreement. LOI's can be short and simple or extensive and detailed. Most often, LOIs are intended to provide a road map for the drafting of more formal, comprehensive binding agreements and contain an express a provision that they are not intended to be binding upon the parties to the LOI.
Real Estate
Quitclaim Deed
Ohio
How to correct a quitclaim deed error?
I recently purchased a home using a quitclaim deed. After I received the deed, I noticed that there was an error in the legal description of the property. I am concerned that the error may invalidate the deed, and I am looking for advice on how to correct the error.
Jeffrey K.
In Ohio, a deed can be corrected either by re-recording the prior deed with corrections made directly on it, or by recording a new deed, called corrective deed. Correcting the legal description can all be achieved through a corrective deed.
Real Estate
Release of Lien
Florida
Can a release of lien be obtained without paying off the underlying debt?
I purchased a property that had an existing lien on it, and the seller promised to obtain a release of lien before the closing, but now they are refusing to do so unless I pay off the remaining debt, even though the lien was filed against them, not me - I want to know if it is possible to obtain a release of lien without having to pay off the underlying debt.
Jorge G.
The standard practice is that any lien against the property should be paid off at or before closing. You should also have obtained title insurance, which generally covers liens that were not satisfied. You should have received a copy of your title insurance policy sometime after closing, and the lien coverage (or any exception) should appear on the policy. At this point, you should contact an attorney to review all of your closing documents and advise you on the best course of action.
Real Estate
Quitclaim Deed
Georgia
Are there risks in accepting a quitclaim deed?
I recently inherited a property from my aunt and I am considering transferring ownership to my cousin using a quitclaim deed. I have heard that there are some risks associated with this type of deed, and I wanted to make sure that I understand all of the potential implications before making a decision. I am looking for advice on how to proceed in a way that is most beneficial for all parties involved.
Bobby H.
There are generally three broad categories of deeds mostly used to convey property in Georgia, depending on certain warranties, or the lack thereof, contained therein. These categorizes include warranty deeds, limited warranty deeds, and quitclaim deeds. In a warranty or general warranty deed, the grantor generally warrants title, and promises to defend the grantee against third party title claims that either arose, or which are based on events occuring at anytime during the grantor's ownership of the property OR the ownership of any of the grantor's predecessors in title. In a limited warranty deed, a grantor generally warrants and promises to defend the grantee against title claims which arose, or which are based on events occuring during the grantor's ownership only. A quitclaim deed generally contains no warranties. Therefore, the grantee or transferee of a quitclaim deed has little to no recourse against the grantor if there is an issue with the title to the property based on the deed alone. Quitclaim deeds are often used when there is little or no money being exchanged for the property such as when there is a transfer of family property, between family members or where property is gifted.
