Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers
Real Estate
Fee Retainer Agreement
New York
Can you explain the purpose and terms of a Fee Retainer Agreement?
I am currently in the process of hiring a lawyer for a legal matter and have been presented with a Fee Retainer Agreement. While I understand that this document outlines the lawyer's fees and payment terms, I would like a thorough explanation of its purpose and the specific terms I should be aware of. I want to ensure that I fully understand the financial obligations and protections provided by this agreement before proceeding with legal representation.
Arthur S.
In many states, e.g. New York, Fee Retainer agreements are required by law before any legal services can be performed. As you have indicated, the base purpose of a retainer agreement is to set forth a clear description of the scope of legal services to be performed and the fees and disbursements payable in connection with the rendering of such services. The retainer agreement should also set forth the rights of both client and attorney in the event a dispute arises between them and the methodology for resolving such dispute, e.g. arbitration vs lawsuit. The retainer agreement should also set forth the right of the client to terminate, as well as the right of the attorney to withdraw from, the attorney/client relationship.

Property Deed
South Dakota
We want to transfer land to our children but we want to still get the income and pay taxes until we die what kind of deed is this
We have three children the attorney made it a warranty deed to transfer our land to them but we still want to have the rent and pay the taxes what kind of deed should this be
T. Phillip B.
Depending on the land and business, I'd consider making an LLC for asset protection reasons. Then you could have a trust as the member. If you need to get the property out of your estate, this will dictate what to do with the trust.

Real Estate Contract
New York
Can you purchase or refinance under a land contract?
I’ve been living here for 2 years. Currently have been working with my credit union and they are having a terrible time trying to understand the legalities of my land contract first off, and secondly they just don’t seem to know what they are doing. It’s been over 8 months, 4 different loan officers and I’m once again waiting for someone else to help finish this thing out. It’s only $60,000 with a $120,000 appraisal. So, as of now I am stuck paying 2.5x monthly under this land contract than I was promised would be an easy mortgage process. So any guidance in the right direction would be very helpful. It’s a New York home. 20 yr fixed, no balloon, with a (brace yourself) 12% apr. HELP ME PLEASE! One month I’m being told to authorize a credit check for a first time homebuyer grant method of mortgaging this property. The next it’s authorizing it for a refinance. I do have earnest money deposits for over $3,000 and another $3000 paid towards principal under this land contract also.

I suggest you speak with a New York real estate attorney. That attorney needs to review the documents related to the transaction.

Net Lease
Georgia
Can a tenant terminate a net lease agreement before the end of the term?
I am currently leasing a commercial property under a net lease agreement, where I am responsible for paying rent as well as a share of property expenses such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, my business is struggling and I am considering terminating the lease before the agreed-upon term ends. I am unsure if this is legally possible under a net lease and I need clarification on my rights and any potential consequences or penalties involved in terminating the lease early.
Thomas D.
Unless the landlord failed to maintain the property or failed to abide by other terms of the lease, the tenant cannot normally terminate a lease early. I would need to review the lease. Tom
