That’s right, when it comes to title services there are few with the experience of Robert Aronov. But what exactly is title insurance and why is it so important.
Title Insurance For Your NYC Real Estate
Title insurance is a contractual obligation that protects against losses that occur when title to a property is not free and clear of defects (e.g. liens, encumbrances and defects that were unknown when the title policy was issued). The terms of the policy define what risks are covered and what risks are excluded from coverage. The title insurer will reimburse you for losses that are covered, up to the face amount of the policy, and any related legal expenses. This protection is effective as of the issue date of the policy and covers defects arising prior to your ownership. Title companies issue policies on all types of real and personal property. Two types of title insurance policies for real property are common: a lender’s policy and an owner’s policy.

A home-buyer would be wise to purchase title insurance for the complete value of the real estate they are purchasing. A good insurance policy will protect you from costly issues such as fraud, liens, mistakes on legal documents, forged deeds and much more.

Companies that provide title insurance servicein NYC are a dime a dozen. Call us today and find out why are are the best yet relatively cheap source for title insurance in the five boroughs of NY.

FYI: Four Debts You Cannot Eliminate When Filing for Bankruptcy
Many individuals considering bankruptcy are often under the assumption that virtually all their debts are included if they file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy (liquidation) or Chapter 13 bankruptcy (debt restructuring).
Unfortunately, this is not the case. There are some debts that cannot be eliminated even if you go the drastic route of filing bankruptcy. These include:

Student Loans

In most cases, student loans are not discharged when you file for bankruptcy. This, unfortunately, includes all types of student loans. Whether federal loans, private loans, or school loans, it’s not as easy to get rid of especially since these types of loans are exempted from bankruptcy law.
The only way around this is if you can somehow prove at the time you file for bankruptcy that you will never be able to acquire work due to disability and that it is impossible for you to pay off the loan. It is, however, very difficult to qualify for exception so most bankruptcy lawyers advise against following this course.
One option to decrease the burden of student loans is to apply for an Income-Based Repayment Plan or the Income-Contingent Repayment Plan under the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007. Those who qualify for either plans still have to pay off their student loans but payments are reduced based on financial ability to pay. Loans can also be forgiven after 10 or 25 years of payments either based on one’s career choice or if under the Income-Contingent Repayment Plan, regardless of career choice.
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Plan is another way to ease the burden of student loans. Under this plan, eligible candidates can apply for employment in government agencies or nonprofit agencies to pay off their loan. Those who can prove that their income is less than 150% of the federal poverty level will have $0 loan payments for as long as they remain within that income margin. However, 120 monthly payments is still required before the loan is forgiven. It is also worth noting that this plan only applies to federal direct student loans.

Child Support

Both child support and alimony are exempted from bankruptcy law. All dues payable for this purpose cannot be discharged even after filing bankruptcy.

Secured Debt

Secured debt is also exempt from bankruptcy. This applies to consumer debts like vehicles and other expensive items like jewelry. Once you file for bankruptcy, you either have to forfeit or pay off your remaining balance to your lender.
You can, however, surrender the item to the lender to wipe off your existing debt.

Divorce Legal Fees and Ex-Spouse Credit Card Debt

Any legal fees acquired during a divorce and any credit card debt under your name or your ex-spouse cannot be wiped out with bankruptcy. If you are the party who agreed to settle all legal fees and debts acquired during your marriage, you will still have to settle all debts even after filing for bankruptcy.
It is important to check if your type of debt can be discharged to avoid unnecessary filing of bankruptcy.

We will now share with you some great information for people who are thinking about writing a will and don’t know the first thing about what they need to do.

Basics of Estate Planning and Why You Should Care:

The common misconception amongst people is that they don’t need to bother ever sitting down with an estate planning lawyer since they don’t own an estate. Either that or they don’t think their estate is valuable enough to worry about estate taxation.

The main problem here is the definition of ‘estate’. Your estate is comprised of all of your assets under your name including, but not limited to:

Cash

Real estate

Death benefits from life insurance

Personal belongings and property

Basically, anything that you own that has some value and can be passed on to somebody at the event of your death. In short, that is an estate. One more thing that many people don’t know is that they already have an estate plan even if they never took the time to write their will as the state provides a default one. When someone neglects to write a legal will , their case will fall under a probate process called estate administration at time of passing. If your loved one passed away without leaving a will things will probably get complicated. It is not a good idea to wait around and one should contact a professional estate lawyer right away.
Who Really Needs Estate Panning?
Everybody needs estate planning services. A legal professional should be contacted when you decide to make the move towards constructing a will. People work all through their life to meet their life goals which usually include wealth accumulation, providing properly for their children, and saving money for retirement.

You should get proper estate planning if you:

Want your estate distributed according to your wishes rather than following statutory procedures and default probate processes.

You have valuable assets that make you vulnerable to high estate taxes

Have heirs that would need financial assistance at the time of your death

In simple terms, an estate plan from a good attorney will cover the preservation and distribution of your estate to the people or organizations of your choosing.

How Should I begin?

As we mentioned best way would be to contact an estate planning lawyer within your area. This is very important as the probate process in Queens, NY for example (which is where I practice) is very different from the probate process in any other state. If, however, you’d like to take care of it on your own, you will need at least a basic understanding of the following:

How to write a will and understanding the limitations

Knowledge of estate tax system

Laws related to estate tax

Death tax

Gift tax on generosity

Trusts

What Is A Will?

This is a personal declaration of your wishes and intentions concerning your assets and properties at the event of your death. You need to have one ready now. A will can be changed any time since it is only legally binding at the time of your death or if you ever reach a state of mental incapacity.

Having a will ready gives you greater control of what happens to your estate once you have died. With a will, you have the right to choose your executor, the one responsible for carrying out your wishes. If for any reason a loved one died without leaving a will you will need to contact legal representation right away.

What else is covered in a will?

Somebody who dies and does not leave a will dies “intestate.” Anybody who dies intestate leaves behind troublesome financial burdens for their heirs and will have no say about how portions of their estate are distributed amongst the heirs.

Within your will, you can:

Pick your executor

Appoint guardians for your children

Distribute your assets to the beneficiaries of your choice

Keep estate tax to a minimum

Finishing a will usually gives one peace of mind and a certain sense of closure. Only writing a will with an estate planning attorney is the only way to assure that the will will be upheld legally for generations to come.

What are Trusts?

Living trusts are the part of estate planning that gives you control over how you’d like your assets managed and spread among beneficiaries. You may name individuals or organizations to take care of managing assets within your trust. Trustees will have effective control at the time of your death and will typically take care of your dependents.

In a way, trusts are more convenient and desirable than wills since they don’t need to be processed within court which means fewer costs and fewer delays. There are also some ways you can work around high taxes regarding inheritance.

There are many more things to take into consideration when taking care of estate planning. In essence, it gives you more control over everything you have accumulated through your life and legally enforces your wishes. For more information, consult a NYC legal representative to get a clearer idea of your options.

Buying Real Estate from Family Members: A Lawyer’s Perspective:

Though it isn’t too common, some people choose to buy homes from their family members. Say for example, Jack wants to buy his mother’s house. The mortgage is almost paid off and his mom is okay with taking monthly payments making it unnecessary to get a loan.

It seems like an ideal transaction but there are countless ways this can go wrong and can even lead to big legal fees along with damaged relationships. Here are a certain issues you should definitely consider should you ever find yourself in a situation similar to Jack’s.

1. Where does your parent/relative stay?

Let’s use Jack’s example again, if his mother is selling him her house, where will she stay after? Does she live with Jack’s family or does she move out and find her own place. If she stays with Jack, the living arrangements must be discussed ahead of time. Something like this can get incredibly complicated in a short amount of time. The mother can speak to a qualified real estate legal representative and actually arrange a contractor that would give her legal rights to live in the home.

2. Handle the transaction professionally

This is more of a safety precaution; since the closer you are to your relative, the bigger the potential damage to your relationship should things turn sour. Your attorney must make sure that all Real Estate legal contracts should be indisputable so that it cannot be used as leverage in any arguments.

Make sure you use a deed of trust, a promissory note, and a third party escrow agency to handle payments between you and your relative.

Why go through all that? So you insure that all payments and its amounts are clear and you know where the money is going and what it’s paying for. Both parties will know what was used for interest, how much went to the principal, and how much was amortized.

3. Put it all in writing

Make sure all the details of the transaction are noted down in your contract. It pays to make everything as clear as day when it comes to massive transactions like this. Include your payment plan. Don’t take riskier mortgage plans just because you are dealing with family.

4. Plan ahead. Even for unlikely scenarios

Since you’re dealing with a family member, you’ll want to protect them too. Should you ever decide to legally sell your real estate, be sure to include a provision stating that your relative should be paid off completely. You don’t want a family member having to deal with strangers in a contractual relationship after selling you their home.

5. Pay what is due

A number of people think that they can get a really good deal on a real estate closing by working out a deal with relatives. To make sure there are no bad feelings, be sure to pay the market rate and include a fixed payment plan.

You’ll also want to do this so that your relative isn’t taxed on the difference by the IRS for gift tax. Annual gifts to relatives can be done but it becomes complicated and tricky to manage making it not worth either of your time.

Make sure this is what you really want to do since you will be putting your relationship on the line. If handled properly, everything should proceed smoothly without any damage falling on your relationship.
