I reached out to Mr Siciliano regarding an issue and emailed all the details that were requested. I never received a call or email back. Why waste so much of my time and not even respond?
Frequently Asked Questions About Siciliano & Associates, LLC
Do I need a lawyer to buy or sell a home in New Jersey?
While not a legal requirement, engaging an attorney can safeguard your interests during the home buying or selling process in New Jersey. Our legal team provides valuable assistance in contract review, title searches, and closing procedures. We work diligently to identify potential risks and negotiate terms that are favorable to our clients.
What is the attorney review period in NJ real estate transactions?
In New Jersey, there is a three-business-day attorney review period following the signing of a real estate contract. During this time, both the buyer and seller have the opportunity to have their attorneys review the agreement. Either party may choose to cancel or propose amendments to the contract within this period.
What does a real estate attorney do at closing?
At closing, a real estate attorney's role involves thoroughly examining all documents, ensuring the title is clear of encumbrances, addressing any last-minute concerns, and explaining your rights and obligations as a party to the transaction. Our goal is to facilitate a smooth and secure closing process for our clients.
What is title insurance, and do I need it?
Title insurance is a protective measure for buyers and lenders against potential financial losses arising from defects in a property's title, such as undisclosed liens or ownership disputes. It is acquired with a one-time payment at closing. We strongly advise obtaining title insurance for all real estate transactions to ensure your investment is protected.
What documents are essential in an estate plan?
A well-rounded estate plan typically comprises several key documents. These include a Last Will and Testament, a Durable Power of Attorney, a Healthcare Directive, and in some cases, a Revocable Living Trust. Each of these documents serves a specific purpose in ensuring your wishes are carried out and your affairs are managed according to your preferences.
What happens if I die without a will in New Jersey?
In the absence of a will, your estate will be distributed according to New Jersey's intestacy laws. These laws may not align with your personal wishes for asset distribution. By creating a will, you can ensure that your assets are allocated to the beneficiaries of your choice, rather than being subject to state-determined distribution.
Can I update my estate plan?
Certainly, updating your estate plan is not only possible but advisable. We recommend reviewing your plan every three to five years, or following significant life events such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child. Regular updates ensure your estate plan continues to reflect your current wishes and circumstances.
What is the difference between a will and a trust?
A will is a document that specifies how your assets should be distributed after your death and goes through the probate process. A trust, on the other hand, allows assets to bypass probate, offering greater privacy and potentially faster distribution. Trusts can also be used to manage assets during your lifetime. The choice between a will and a trust depends on your specific needs and circumstances.
What is land use law?
Land use law encompasses the regulations governing how property can be developed or utilized. This area of law includes zoning regulations, variance procedures, site plan approval processes, and environmental regulations. Understanding land use law is crucial for property owners and developers to ensure compliance with local ordinances and regulations.
Do I need a variance to build on my property?
If your proposed construction project does not comply with local zoning ordinances, such as setback requirements or height limitations, you may need to obtain a variance. Our legal team can assist you in preparing and presenting your case before the appropriate zoning boards to seek the necessary approvals for your building plans.
