FIGEROUX & ASSOCIATES: OTHER PRACTICE AREAS

We also handle other legal matters, such as:

Personal Injury

Personal injury law covers any wrong or damage done to your person, property, rights, or reputation resulting from someone else’s negligence. Whether the injury is physical or psychological, the challenge in a personal injury case is to clearly determine fault and prove the negligence or carelessness of the other party. The NY personal injury attorneys at Figeroux & Associates have successfully won fair compensation for victims of negligence.

Deed Transfer

A deed is a legal document that specifies who the owner of real estate is. Please note that in a coop, there is no “deed.” Generally, only condos and houses have a deed. A deed is the document that transfers ownership of real estate. It will identify the buyer (grantee) and seller (grantor), provide a legal description of the property, and be signed by the person transferring the property. The seller’s signature must be notarized.

Real Estate

Home equity is the market value of a homeowner’s unencumbered interest in their real property, that is, the difference between the home’s fair market value and the outstanding balance of all liens on the property. The property’s equity increases as the debtor make payments against the mortgage balance, or as the property value appreciates. In economics, home equity is sometimes called real property value.

Contested Divorce

Having a divorce lawyer to protect your interests can make the divorce process easier. An attorney can evaluate your case and offer you different options. A contested divorce lawyer can ensure a positive outcome for your divorce. A lawyer can help you settle child custody issues, property and debt concerns, and other areas of divorce.
