April marks the month of Financial Awareness.

The bulk of financial guidance is investment-related. But our funds could be completely destroyed if there were no legal safeguards in place! The following advice will help you keep your money where it belongs:

1. If we can lose everything due to legal liabilities, it makes no difference how much we make and save. Frivolous litigation increase during uncertain economic times. A careful legal strategy will prevent unscrupulous individuals from accessing our finances! My late grandmother was the queen of lawsuits.

2. Avoid giving money to a minor directly. Courts insist on managing children's finances ever since Jackie Cougan's parents embezzled all of his "Little Rascals" earnings. Doing a trust for children is preferable. This will keep outsiders out and stop inheritance from affecting financial help for college.

3. Never give your children ownership of your house. They will have to pay taxes as a result, and you will be open to their divorces and other legal issues.

4. Steer clear of a "one size fits all" plan. With a strong trust, we can personalize our strategy and keep control while shielding assets from taxes, probate, and long-term care expenses.

5. It shouldn't cost the earth to heal a shattered heart! Take into consideration a cohabitation, prenuptial, or postnuptial agreement that offers both parties financial stability.

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 [...
