Dimitry K.
Prior to becoming an attorney, Mr. Dimitry Alexander Kaplun had been involved with many industries and professions, and helped manage, create, and advise a wide range of businesses around the world. While at Drexel University as a computer science major, he became an NASD licensed representative and was employed by Fortune 100 insurance companies, including Prudential, AIG, and NY Life, first specializing in financial investments for life and annuity products, and then expanding his expertise to mutual finds, stocks, environmental insurance, and real property. Due to his technical expertise and a clear understanding of business rules, he was soon brought on board to help assist those companies with coding their interface for the Y2K switch. Soon after switching his major to business, Mr. Kaplun worked for a telecommunication service company first in quality assurance and then as a database programmer and developer, with sole and exclusive responsibilities for a multitude of warehouses located around the continental United States. Working on-site and from the company headquarters, he was responsible for streamlining processes for internal departments while fulfilling the quickly changing needs to the company clients, most notably Verizon Wireless. Mr. Kaplun opened his practice in 2008. Prior to starting his practice, he worked as a paralegal instructor for Prism Career Institute, creating the lesson plans for the whole program and focusing his instruction on substantive and procedural laws for general practitioners. Mr. Kaplun also worked as an associate for The Law Office of Keith Owen Campbell PC, focusing on Family and Matrimonial Law, and assisted the law firm of Jeffrey Neu and Associates in securities research as well as various contact and sales agreements, mainly online reseller agreements. He currently focuses his energy on representing individuals and companies in liability insulation, contracts and business agreements, and other legal concerns that crop up in the regular operation of doing business.

Before practicing law, Ken worked in banking and private equity, including managing a $5 billion emerging markets fund-of-funds portfolio at the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and serving in equity research at ABN AMRO. That financial background allows him to understand transactions from both the legal and capital perspective. He holds a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and an MBA from Yale University. He practices before the U.S. Tax Court, various state courts, and other federal courts.
"It is not easy to find a lawyer that knows Offshore Asset Protection Trusts, which own a foreign LLC, which owns a USA LLC. Fines could reach $100K if the tax forms are incorrect, or not filed. He was able to review my draft returns and provide memos with required changes (many, many changes), after 1 follow-up everything was basically done other than a few tiny edits. I really appreciated how he worked me in, right in the busiest time of tax season, to ensure there were no errors. Would definitely hire again."

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.

Purchase and Sale Agreement
Florida
Who drafts the purchase and sale agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a property and am in need of a Purchase and Sale Agreement. I am unclear on who typically drafts the agreement and am looking for advice from a lawyer. I understand that the agreement should be tailored to my specific needs and am looking for guidance on how to best proceed.
Linda W.
Either the seller or the buyer can prepare a purchase agreement. Like any contract, it can be a standard document that one party uses in the normal course of business or it can be the end result of back-and-forth negotiations. Most often, the buyer's real estate agent will write up and prepare the purchase agreement for a house. Note that agents (not being practicing attorneys themselves) can't create their own contracts. In Florida commonly the parties utilize the Florida Realtors/FloridaBar-ASIS-6 Rev. 10/21/2021. That is an example of a approved form.

Real Estate Option Agreement
Georgia
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.
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

Mechanics Lien

What is the cost of putting a lien on a property for failure to pay sub contractor?
I have performed work for a contractor and the contractor is refusing to pay.
Holly T.
The rights to this are ascertainable, but fact specific. It depends who the contract was with among other things like how long it's been since the last furnishing of labor and materials. Please review this document to get started. https://foxrothschild.gjassets.com/content/uploads/2018/12/Mechanics-Liens-in-Practice-Subcontractor-Rights-NC-w-016-4869.pdf
