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 Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing.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, and I've been practicing law for over 30 years with a genuine passion for contracts and legal drafting. I spent nearly 15 years running my own solo practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I built a thriving firm helping everyone from small business owners to entertainment professionals navigate their legal needs. Those years taught me that great contracts aren't just about covering all the bases legally - they're about understanding what my clients actually need and translating that into clear, enforceable agreements. My sweet spot is contract drafting across a wide range of areas. I've written hundreds of LLC operating agreements (both single and multi-member), prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, residential and commercial leases, independent contractor agreements, service contracts, NDAs, consulting agreements, and corporate formation documents. I also have extensive experience in estate planning documents - wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and living wills - plus employment agreements and entertainment law contracts. These days I'm based in New York City, but I work with clients nationwide on contract matters. What I love most about this work is taking complex business relationships and turning them into documents that actually make sense and protect everyone involved. Whether you're a startup founder needing your first operating agreement or an established business updating your contractor templates, I focus on creating contracts that work in the real world, not just on paper. After three decades of practice, I still get excited about a well-crafted contract. Let's talk about how I can help with yours.
"Randy was great and even though I didn't prepare things 100%, we went with it and didn't change the bid price. He was patient and understanding brought up a lot of issues I didn't notice. Very good work! I would work with him again in a minute!"

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
California
Do quitclaim deeds expire?
I recently inherited a piece of property from my late uncle. I have recently received a quitclaim deed for the property, but I'm not sure if it is still valid. I am interested in selling the property, but I need to know if the quitclaim deed is still valid and will not expire.
Sarah S.
A quitclaim deed typically maintains its validity over time, but there are key factors to keep in mind: Proper Execution: To ensure the quitclaim deed remains valid, it must have been correctly executed when your late uncle transferred the property to you. This usually entails the presence of a notary public or witnesses and adherence to your state's legal requirements for deed execution. Recording: For safeguarding your interests and confirming the deed's legitimacy, it should be officially recorded with the relevant government office, often the county recorder's office. Recording serves to establish a public record of the property transfer.

Pros and cons of using a quitclaim deed?
I recently inherited a property from a family member, and I am trying to figure out the best way to transfer the title of ownership to me. I have heard of quitclaim deeds, and I am interested in learning more about the benefits and drawbacks of using a quitclaim deed to transfer the title of ownership.
Michael C.
Here are some of the main pros and cons of using a quitclaim deed: Pros: - It's a relatively quick and easy way to transfer property title. The process is simpler than other deed types because no warranty of title is provided. - It can help avoid probate if transferring title from a deceased owner. The property can be transferred without going through probate court. - It's generally less expensive than other deeds. A quitclaim deed is usually considered the simplest and cheapest deed option. - It clears up potential title clouds. It can resolve ambiguities in the property's title history. Cons: - It provides no warranty of title. The person transferring the property does not guarantee they actually own the property. - No liability protection for the recipient. If there are defects in the property title, the recipient has no legal recourse against the grantor. - It may not transfer all interests. Mineral rights, easements, mortgages, and other encumbrances may still exist after the transfer. - The grantor must have valid interest to quitclaim. If the grantor doesn't actually have rights to the property, the deed may be void. - It can facilitate fraud if misused. Care should be taken that the grantor has rights to the property. In summary, a quitclaim deed can be a fast and low-cost option to transfer property title, but provides less protection than other deeds. It's important to be sure the grantor has valid rights to avoid potential title issues. Consulting a real estate attorney can help navigate the pros and cons.

Purchase and sale agreement and tenants?
I am in the process of purchasing a rental property that currently has tenants living in it. I am looking to have a Purchase and Sale Agreement drawn up, however, I am uncertain of my rights and responsibilities as the new owner of the property with regards to the existing tenants. I would like to know what the agreement should include regarding the tenants and my obligations as the new owner.

In short, you would “step I to the shoes” of the prior owner. That said, you must be careful with your due diligence to make sure what your stepping into works for you.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
