Deed Conveyances
Find Out More
Conveying property from one party to another seems simple enough, but in New York and New Jersey, it is always best to use a qualified, responsive, and reliable attorney. Organizing a deed of conveyance or another deed that transfers the title of the property can save you from serious legal battles such as avoiding costly and time-consuming probate. When done properly, a Deed Conveyance gives you full rights to the property – you can build upon it, charge rent, sell the property, etc. – without worrying about someone disputing your ownership in the future. A conveyance deed is an important legal document during the transference of a property, even between friends or family members so make sure you hire the right Legal Firm to draft the paperwork. It may save you invaluable time and money.
Transfer of Interest
Find Out More
Laird Law can successfully navigate your Transfer of Interest. Basically, a transfer of interest is when the title to property or assets change from one person to another. Sounds like an easy process but if you have ever site a snag – such as with a pending abatement issue – this seemingly simple process can become a nightmare. A transfer of interest is accomplished through a sale, though it can also happen by means of a gift. Transfers of interest usually refer to the exchange of real property, such as a home or apartment complex. However, the term can also include non-physical assets as well, such as stocks or copyrights – which can be even more complex. To ensure that the transfer, or change of interest, passes in full from the original owner to the “transferee” (the recipient of the title), your best bet is to hire a competent and responsive lawyer.
Assignments and Personal Property Sales
Find Out More
An assignment of personal property is done to ensure that personal property currently owned or to be owned in the future is part of the trust. The process of transferring personal items into a trust is a comparatively straightforward one that is accomplished with a document typically called an “assignment of personal property.” That being said, it is always best to have legal help in these matters. Our attorneys are experienced and knowledgeable and will guide you through the correct way to protect your valuables so that nothing is overlooked.
Landlord / Tenant Agreements
Find Out More
There are over two million apartment rentals in New York City alone, all with landlords and tenants. Most of the time, there are no issues; but on occasion, there is a serious need for a landlord-tenant lawyer to mediate between a landlord and a tenant. There are numerous lease and occupancy issues on all sides of commercial and residential rental property matters, as well as lease drafts or negotiations relative to a client’s needs and (legal) requirements. There are also eviction or summary proceedings such as primary tenancy, non-payment of rent, and claims of a nuisance. It is a complex legal setting that oftentimes requires the vital assistance of a landlord-tenant attorney. Laird Law can represent both commercial and residential clients in real estate and landlord-tenant matters, closely with all aspects of each transaction.
