A lawyer would look through the mounds of deeds and liens on the property (the abstract) and give an opinion of title.

Make sure the paperwork is prepared by a lawyer that knows what he or she is doing and probably a real estate attorney that has done some.

I have been referring all these clients to 1 specific attorney without advising them of course (I am not a lawyer).

If the guy was required to MOVE, even feeble minded, he may have questioned it but now, lawyers are involved (mother in law is a traditional type realtor who has been trying to SELL this guys house on the MLS for a year... and its been SOLD to this investor since September!)

In my opinion, this entire "mold" issue is nothing more than the latest fad of hypocondriacs, popularized by all the scumbag contingency lawyers who promote suing someone for every little thing.

I'd like to find out if there is a maximum amount of mortage interest that one is allowed to write off of income taxes in any given year.I'm a newbie and here's my situation:I'm a farily new lawyer (48 yrs old, unmarried, no kids, no property) on my second career having worked as an engineer for a major corp. for the last 20 years.

Having an excellent lawyer is best in the ghetto.

We have a lawyer in MI that has agreed to review the final lease draft (he rode the short sale rollercoaster with us during our purchase last summer) to ensure it protects us and my parents, but he recommended we draft the lease since we would need to iron out the details as well.

I'm not a lawyer, but I would imagine that the first question is "what does your lease say?"

Funny that Facebook considers you a lawyer if you are not.
