Costs and outcomes are often top of mind when considering litigation. Two of the most common questions clients ask involve financial recovery and what happens after a court decision is issued. With that in mind, we wanted to provide clarity about what may happen at the conclusion of a case.

💠Will the other side pay my attorney fees if I win? Generally, each side pays its own legal fees. However, certain contracts or statutes allow for fee recovery, and courts may award fees in limited circumstances.

💠What happens after a judgment is entered? If you prevail, the court may award damages or other relief. If payment is not made voluntarily, additional legal steps may be necessary to enforce the judgment.

If you have questions about litigation costs, potential recovery, or enforcing a judgment, call us to discuss your specific matter. We are here to help.

This time of year, many new graduates and their families are looking into rental options for the first time. One of the most common parts of a lease is a security deposit, which can quickly become a point of contention between landlords and tenants.

Legal conflicts can arise if both parties are not clear on the amount required, how the deposit will be stored, how a tenant can re-obtain the deposit, and acceptable deductions. It’s important to remember that state laws typically govern how much landlords can collect, how deposits must be returned, and what deductions are allowed.

If you have questions about a security deposit or another renting-related legal concern, give our team a call. We are here to help make sure your rights and interests are protected in any lease.

Subletting is common during the graduation and relocation seasons, since existing tenants often sign yearlong leases but must move out before their leases end. This can make subleasing an attractive option for new graduates, but there are some key legal considerations to be aware of before taking the plunge.

🔹Subletting is not always automatically permitted by every lease. Many leases require written landlord approval before a tenant can sublet. It is best practice to verify that subleasing is permitted before signing any documents.

🔹Even when subletting is allowed, the original tenant often remains legally responsible for rent and potential damages caused by the subtenant, creating tricky legal situations.

If you have questions about a subleasing agreement or another renting concern, give us a call. We are here to help make sure your rights and interests are protected.

May is Older Americans Month, and in honor of the month, we wanted to share a couple of key proactive steps you can take to ensure your estate plan meets your needs and protects your family. Here are some key actions you can take today:

🔹 Organize important documents - Your estate plan is only effective if the right people can access it. Make sure documents like wills, trusts, insurance policies, account statements, property records, and beneficiary designations are easily accessible to trusted family members. Include written passwords and other important papers as well.

🔹 Inventory your assets - Take stock of your financial, physical, and digital property, and cross-reference it with your estate plan to ensure nothing has been left out. If you've recently acquired an asset you'd like to include, or notice something missing, let's discuss it.

🔹 Plan memorial or final arrangements - While difficult, this is a crucial step. Determine where you'll be laid to rest, document specific requests for final arrangements, and consider pre-paying for services. This helps ease the burden on loved ones and ensures your final wishes are respected.

Taking these steps can help bring you and your family clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. If you have questions about your estate plan, feel free to reach out. We are here to help.

Graduation season is in full swing, which means that many students are renting for the first time, whether they are joining the workforce or heading off to college. For parents and students alike, it is crucial to understand some key responsibilities of cosigners, since many first-time renters will require one.

While co-signing may feel like a formality, it carries serious legal and financial responsibility. Here is what to know:

🔹 A co-signer is typically equally liable for the lease, meaning they can be held responsible for unpaid rent, property damage, or lease violations.

🔹 Landlords are often not required to pursue the tenant first before seeking payment from the co-signer.

If you have questions about cosigning or any other real estate law concerns, do not hesitate to reach out. Our firm is here to help protect your interests.

Naming a primary beneficiary is an important step, but it is not enough on its own. If that person is unable or unwilling to inherit your assets and no backup plan is in place, you risk:

🔹Assets ending up in probate.
🔹The distribution of assets not reflecting your wishes.
🔹Your plan lacking the flexibility life demands.

With this in mind, it can be a good idea to name alternative beneficiaries and include contingency clauses to keep your plan aligned and your assets protected, even when life changes.

If you are unsure whether your estate plan is flexible enough, now is a good time to review it. Contact us today to get started.
