I'm in general practice with an emphasis on real estate, litigation, and contracts
Michelle T.
I am an experienced, well-rounded attorney with a background specializing in trusts and estates, contracts and business law. I have extensive experience working with simple contracts all the way up to multi-million dollar deals.
"Michelle drafted an excellent and unique Post Nuptial agreement which outlines a very specific "process" that will be used to divide assets in the event of divorce. Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing. Michelle rose to the challenge at a very reasonable price. Other, "meter man" attorneys would have charged at least 5x more. I highly recommend Michelle!"

Randy M.
Hi, I'm Randy. I've been practicing law for over 30 years, with extensive experience drafting, reviewing, and revising contracts for individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses. I spent nearly 15 years running my own law practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I represented small business owners, professionals, entrepreneurs, and clients in the entertainment industry. That experience taught me that a good contract must do more than address legal requirements. It should clearly define the parties' rights and obligations, anticipate practical problems, and protect my client's interests if the relationship does not go as planned. Contract drafting and review are major parts of my practice. Over the course of my career, I've drafted and reviewed hundreds of agreements. I also review contracts prepared by other attorneys, businesses, and individuals to identify legal issues, assess enforceability, and identify potential compliance issues under current applicable law. My experience includes: • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements • Employment and independent contractor agreements • LLC operating agreements for single-member and multi-member LLCs • Consulting, coaching, freelancer, and professional services agreements • Residential and commercial leases • NDAs and confidentiality agreements • Entertainment industry agreements • Business formation and corporate documents • Other commercial and business contracts I also have substantial experience preparing estate planning documents, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance medical directives. I'm currently based in New York City and am licensed to practice law in Virginia. I work remotely with clients on contract projects across the country. My approach is practical and straightforward. I take the time to understand the transaction, the client's objectives, and the risks that need to be addressed. I then draft an agreement that is clear, thorough, and usable in the real world. Whether you need a new agreement drafted, an existing contract reviewed, or revisions to a document you are negotiating, I can help you identify the important issues and prepare a contract that reflects your objectives. I would be glad to discuss your project and how I can help.
"Thankful for the thoroughness and responsiveness to my issues! Highly recommend."

"Alston was wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable in COPPA requirements. Upon reviewing my terms of service and privacy policy he chose to rewrite them to create the most affective final documents rather than offering recommendations or redlining them. He was also able to tailor them to meet state requirements in the state my LLC is founded in."

Real Property Purchase Agreement
Virginia
quitclaim from deed
i have frienen is on my deed so he wants quit from deed how much charge
Michael T.
Generally speaking, getting your friend "off the title" just needs a deed granting you his interest in the property. A real estate lawyer could prepare such a deed for only a few hundred dollars. But that does not include having a title examination done, and it doesn't include the recordation cost (the deed needs to be recorded in the local land records, and the cost varies).

Lien
Virginia
Lien on house
Trying to sell home. My title company having issue settling the debt. Title company contact loan to payoff, but no record of my property was found. Only past owner current home is on the loan. Quit Deed was done 2012. In 2015 past owner loan was passed to a different company who record in Florida my parcel number. So basically I can't pay loan off because my home is not attached to her loan. I still can't clear title because lien was recorded 2015 in Fl court house, but The past owner was no longer on deed. Looking to hire a lawyer to clear title, so I can sell my home.
Michael T.
This sounds complicated enough that you need a lawyer to get involved. Do you have a title insurance "owner's policy"? If so, that might get you a free lawyer (I can't tell from the facts you presented whether that will work). Also, you've tagged this question as a Virginia question, but you mention the lien being recorded in Florida. You need an experienced lawyer in the jurisdiction in which the property is located. If the house is in Virginia, you need a Virginia lawyer; if in Florida, you need a Florida lawyer. If it's a lien on Virginia property from a Florida judgment, then you need a Virginia lawyer, because that's where the property is located.

Quitclaim Deed
Minnesota
what form would I use to add my spouse to the title deed of my house?
My husband and I bought a house before we got married but he is the only one on the mortgage and title for the home. We are in our 50's now and would like to add myself to the title deed to the home too so we don't run into legal issues if in event that he would pass away before me.
Michael C.
The main form used to transfer property between spouses is called a Quit Claim Deed. This allows you to transfer interest without going through a full real estate transaction. The Quit Claim Deed must be signed by the current owner(s) of the property, notarized, and then filed with the county recorder office where the property is located. There is typically a small filing fee. You will need the full legal description of the property and the Property ID Number or Parcel ID to complete the Quit Claim Deed form properly. This can be found on your current deed, property tax statement, or through the county assessor's office. Both spouses will need valid photo ID when signing the Quit Claim Deed in front of a notary public. If there are already loans secured by the property, the lender may need to provide approval to add the spouse, so check with your mortgage company first.

I am partnered and want to be added to our home.We are not married and may not be in the future.
I have been partnered for several years. My partner owned the home prior to me moving in. However, I am contributing to the monthly mortgage/expenses. We have a co-habitation agreement however, I would like to be added to the title/deed of the home. Can I do this for a low cost? How do I go about this? Thanks!!!
Jaren J.
You need to have your partner sign/notarize a quit claim deed from your partner to you and your partner either as joint tenants or tenants in common. The deed is then filed with the county in which the property is located and the $46 recording feed paid (along with a $5 conservation fee and $1.65 to $1.70 deed tax).

How do I add a name to my title on bare hunting land in Minnesota
I own 40 acres of hunting land. My brother wants to buy half and has the cash
Maury B.
If you wish to adda. name to the title, you would have to execute a quitclaim deed from the current title holder (presumably you) to the new title holders (you and whoever you are adding). Tat would then be filed in the office where land titles are filed in your county, usually the County Recorder's office.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
