Checklist for Preparing For Divorce

Divorce not only affects spouses. It has a major impact on the children of a marriage as well. When divorces involve custody fights, you can make the transition easier for your children if you're well prepared. You might find that preparation helps you at a stressful time as well.

Options for Owners of Distressed Residential Real Estate

Owning a home is one the biggest investments an individual will make during their lifetime. Unfortunately, in the past few years, residential real estate values have plummeted. Consequently, property owners have found themselves in financial distress, often owing more on their home than it is worth. To make things worse, many of these property owners have lost their jobs and can no longer make their mortgage payments.

When you find a client in that position, what should you tell them? The good news is that there are often many options available. The key is knowing what these options are, and how to counsel your client to make the most informed decision possible.
