Proven Resource We are Michigan and Ohio real estate and finance attorneys. As successful problem -solvers, we are a Proven Legal Resource.

We peace of mind to businesses and individuals in the areas of real estate, contracts and financial disputes. I love to demystify complicated real estate and financial legal concepts and problems for people who are frustrated, "spinning their wheels" with incompetent or dismissive real estate or banking "professionals." I hate when someone finds themselves at a legal disadvantage - they're "stuck" when they unknowingly relying on outdated or impractical information and forms off of the "internet." It's unfortunate when someone bases their legal decisions off of "outside chatter." They rely on the opinion of someone they hardly know, (or worse, friends or family members) who is NOT a licensed and experienced real estate or finance attorney, and frankly, has no "skin in the game." For the above reasons, I actively write, publish and create books, articles, podcasts, slide presentations and newsletters -all designed to simplify complicated legal concepts related to real estate and finance. I strive to make these resources user -friendly and practical so that someone with a legal concern can understand how to reduce their legal liability and financial exposure in the real estate and debt arenas.

Q: I filed a deed electronically with the County Register of Deeds. Now, I want a copy of the deed with a raised seal. I don't feel it is an official filing without it. I called my real estate attorney, who is very trustworthy. He says that a recorded deed is an officially recorded deed, and there is no need for a raised seal. Why do I feel that this deed is imperfect?

A: Most states now recognize the legality and validity of electronically filed deeds. Michigan is no exception. Provided that the elements of a valid conveyance deed are met and accepted by the county, it is valid. The deed must be in writing, identify the grantor and grantee, include a legal description of the property, be signed by the grantor, and be properly delivered and accepted. Additionally, it must contain operative words of conveyance, be acknowledged by a notary, and be recorded with the Register of Deeds. Welcome to the 21st Century!

Q: I’m assuming the mortgage and buying out my partner due to a breakup. Will I have to pay a state/county tax in Michigan?

A: By paying "state or county tax," I am going to assume that you mean 'transfer" tax. Assumption of a mortgage should not be a taxable event since you state that you are already a partner/member of the organization. You also can check with your CPA since he will know your tax status best.

Our newest issue of Soble Law's Anecdotes just dropped—and this one might be our most thought-provoking yet. From the strategic takedown of the Bismarck to the hidden “pressure points” inside real estate and contract disputes, this month’s cover story shows why strategy beats force every time. Inside, we also break down:
• When probate is actually required (and how long it really takes)
• Why attorney retainers work the way they do
• How one missing document can cost you time, money, and leverage
• Real-world Q&As on trustees, quiet title, lease options, and more
It’s real estate and contract law—with insight, history, and just enough storytelling to make it an easy, worthwhile read. If you own property, run a business, invest in real estate, or simply want to avoid costly legal missteps, this issue is for you. Read it. Share it. And as always—"call before you sign." https://bit.ly/3ChNYeo
