 Real Estate in Divorces

Most people think that if a house is in your name alone, then it’s your house. If you’re like most people, then you’d be almost right. Depending on when and how you acquired the property, it may actually be yours AND your spouse’s! When you married your partner, you formed an economic partnership with them. (That’s why they call them partners!) This means that most of the property (including both assets and debts) accumulated during the marriage are considered to be presumptively marital property. The key word is presumptive.




Back to Real estate in divorces. If you owned a home before you married your spouse, then that home is considered to be your pre-marital separate property. If you purchased the home during the marriage then it is presumptively marital property owned by both, regardless of whose name it’s under. This is because during a marriage title does not rule. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg. As you peel back the layers, you come across transmutation, property origination credits, active versus passive appreciation arguments etc. This is why when property is in question in a divorce, you need attorneys who are on top of the law and know the right arguments to make! Call Beckerman & Granados, PLLC today for a free consultation and let’s see how we can make sure your house stays YOUR house.

Can the Court vacate a Housing Court Stipulation of Settlement that was made by a tenant Without the Assistance of Counsel? If a tenant or occupant of a premises appears in Housing Court in response to a Non-payment or Holdover Petition and enters into a Stipulation of Settlement to vacate, and later realizes that compliance with the Stipulation is impossible, can they seek that the Court vacate and essentially nullify the Stipulation? In Order to obtain this relief, the tenant/occupant would need to return to Court with an Order to Show Cause requesting the vacatur of the Stipulation and the restoration of the case to the Court’s calendar. Whether the Stipulation is vacated is at the discretion of the presiding Judge. A court may vacate its own judgment for sufficient reason and in the interests of substantial justice ( see Ladd v. Stevenson, 112 N.Y. 325, 332, 19 N.E. 842 (1889); see generally 10 Weinstein–Korn–Miller, N.Y. Civ. Prac. 5015.01, at 50–299; 5015.12, at 50–338 [...

What Do I Do If One of My Commercial Tenants Declares Chapter 11?

 If you own commercial real estate in New York, and one of your tenants just declared  Chapter 11 bankruptcy , you need to know your rights and responsibilities. When Commercial Tenants Go Bankrupt No one runs a business expecting it to fail. Your tenants signed their leases fully believing that they would have no trouble paying your rent. But things can happen — from pandemics, to recessions, to sudden illnesses. If you have been notified that one of your tenants declared Chapter 11, this is what you should expect. Automatic Stay Say your tenant was behind on their rent, and you were trying to collect. Under the automatic stay provision under 11U.S.C. Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, once a bankruptcy petition is filed you have to immediately stop any attempts at collection. You are now legally prevented from trying to reclaim back rent, ending the lease early, or evicting the tenant for non-payment. And if you have some sort of bankruptcy clause in your l...
