What is an attorney's role in a real estate sale?

If you're selling real property, you should have a lawyer advise you because the buyer is entitled to a complete disclosure from you, with respect to the property. And if you don't provide those proper disclosures, the buyer can come back and sue you for misrepresentation, fraud, and failure to disclose. You need a lawyer to properly word and structure the disclosures, so that you're completely protected. If possible, it's good to have an as-if clause added in the contract. I'm Jeff Matsen and I'm the founding and managing partner of Wealth Strategies Counsel. We help people preserve, protect, and transfer their legacy to the next generation, in the most cost saving and efficient manner possible.

What's the #1 mistake when buying commercial property?

The number one mistake people make in buying commercial property is they don't carefully analyze the vehicle in which they utilize to purchase the property. They need to make sure that they have the proper liability protected entity in which to place the property. And they also need to make sure, of course, that they are getting what they're paying for. They need to make sure that the representations of the seller, the disclosure of the seller, is complete and exhaustive. They need someone to review those disclosures who has experience in real estate and knows what the problems can be.

Why do I need to worry about protecting my assets?

You need to worry about protecting and preserving your assets because we live in a predatory climate. There are creditors now who are attempting to sue and get into the deep pocket of people who are business owners, or professionals, or who own real estate assets. We're in a victim oriented society where people think that they need to be compensated for anything bad that might happen. Therefore, in this situation because of the proliferation of lawsuits, the victim oriented society and the notoriety that some of these cases are given, you need to protect your assets. I'm Jeff Matson and I'm the Founding and Managing Partner of Wealth Strategies Council. We help people preserve, protect and transfer their legacy to the next generation in the most cost saving and efficient manner possible.

Should I handle my car accident claim myself?

The most important thing to remember is that an insurance company is not looking out for your best interest. You should hire an attorney. What is important is that you hire an attorney that's experienced in this area of law. You don't want to hire an attorney that practices real estate law or trust law or corporate law. You need to find an attorney that handles personal injury law. Statistics prove that settlements that are negotiated by an attorney will net a client more than settlements negotiated by the client himself or herself. My name is Guy Montalbano of Kantrovitz & Associates. We've been helping people in the greater Boston area with automobile accident claims, workers' compensation, Social Security disability claims for the last 20 years.

Who's the right attorney for a serious car accident victim?

First thing you wanna do is find an experienced attorney. You don't want an attorney going through the school on your case. A lot of attorneys out there may be experience but their experience might be in real estate closings and adoptions and divorces and criminal cases and they tell you "Sure, I can handle your claim. I've done dozens of claims just like yours." But if they don't have the specialized knowledge and actually presenting, trying, doing appeals, and handling all aspects of personal injury plaintiffs work then you're probably better off in the hands of a skilled practitioner that does have that specialized knowledge. I'm Mitchel Proner, if you're looking for an experienced skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.
