Ramsey T.
My clients are often small and medium size technology companies, from the "idea" stage to clients who may have raised a round or three of capital and need to clean up a messy cap table. I help with all legal matters related to growth that keep founders up at night - hiring people, allocating equity, dealing with shareholders and investors, client negotiations and early litigation counseling (before you need a litigator). I've seen a lot, and because I run my own business, I understand the concerns that keep you up at night. I’ve been through, both on my own and through other clients, the “teething” pains that will inevitably arise as you scale-up – and I’m here to help you. I have over 20 years international experience devising and implementing robust corporate legal strategies and governance for large multinationals. I now focus on start-ups and early/medium stage technology companies to enable a sound legal foundation for your successful business operations. Many of my clients are international with US based holding companies or presences. My 17 years abroad helps me "translate" between different regimes and even enabling Civil and Common Law lawyers to come together. Regularly, I handle early stage financings including Convertible Notes, Seed and Series A/B financings; commercial and technology contracts; international transactions; tax; mergers and acquisitions.

Property Deed

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.

Options Contract
Pennsylvania
Can you draft a real estate option agreement that is legal in PA and NY?
Hi, My name is Shawn Mallett. I am a real estate marketer and seller that is not real estate salesperson licensed. Can you confirm whether or not it is legal for me to utilize an option to purchase contract with a seller/wholesaler with the intention to sell and assign the contract (with the seller knowing this intention) rather than the intention to close on it myself? How much would you charge to confirm the legality of the following contract in both PA and NY and make the appropriate changes if needed? Option to Purchase Real Estate Agreement Date: 06/21/2021 This option agreement is entered between the Parties, Optionor(s) and Optionee(s), below in consideration of and subject to the following terms and conditions. 1.

This cancellation must be done in writing. ‐ Optionor agrees to allow Optionee to advertise the property for sale. ‐ If Optionee does not acquire an End‐Buyer to assign this deal to within 3 years (three year) of acceptance of this Option Agreement, this agreement becomes null and void. ‐ All parties agree that property is sold in “as is” present condition unless noted otherwise. ‐ Time is of the essence in this agreement.

Purchase Agreement
Washington
Can I back out of a purchase agreement?
I recently signed a purchase agreement for a house. I was unaware of some major repairs that need to be done and now I am worried that I won't be able to afford them. I am trying to figure out if there is any way I can back out of the purchase agreement and if so, what steps would I need to take.
Merry A.
A well-written purchase offer usually includes several ways for a buyer to back out of the purchase without any penalty - for example, if the buyer doesn't like the inspector's report, one can usually back out on that basis - another typical one is failing to obtain a loan. I hope your buyer's agent wrote up the offer in a way that gave you 2 or 3 "escape clauses" - you should talk with your agent, but if there are problems, I would recommend that you have a real estate attorney review your offer and help you get out of the offer - if possible - with minimal or no cost to you.

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

What is a triple net lease?
I want to understand these better.
George O.
A triple net lease designates the tenant (lessee) as having the sole responsibility for any and all costs associated to the asset being leased in the agreement, with those costs being the net real estate taxes on the leased asset, net building insurance, and net common area maintenance. The lease received its name from the three “net” fees and may also be called a Net-Net-Net Lease.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
