Real Estate Red Flags
shelby-joiner • November 11, 2019
Kacey Ziegler specializes in Real Estate Law and has a few wise words for anyone considering signing a lease.
Many landlords start with a fill-in-the-blank lease. The template that they found online or from a friend may be a good starting point, but they are not always a good final lease. As an attorney with a real estate practice, I work with landlords and tenants to make sure that their interests are protected. I draft leases for a new landlord, re-drafting an old lease to make changes once a problem is found, or review leases with tenants before they sign. It is important that my clients are prepared for most scenarios and can sign with peace of mind.
Check the terms. One of my first clients was a tenant who leased a house for a year and wanted to terminate the lease early with minimum penalty. The lease allowed for the tenant to terminate the lease before the end of the twelve (12) months, but he would need to pay three-months of rent as a penalty. A quick review of the lease showed that the term only showed one month instead of one year! The landlord wrote the dates down wrong. This mistake allowed my client to get out of the lease with no penalty because he was operating on a month-to-month lease and not a full year.
Read the lease. I met with a landlord to discuss a tenant who had fallen behind on her rent. The first thing I did was review the lease for the eviction clause. The landlord had used the same lease for years and somewhere along the way, the section on evictions was cut short leaving an incomplete sentence and a grey area on how the lease could be enforced. While the law provides guidance, it is better to have it specified in the lease.
Keep it simple. While it is important to have the lease be as specific as possible, do not make it so complicated that neither the landlord nor the tenant know how to enforce it. A landlord came to me with this exact problem. A tenant was not paying rent. When the landlord was ready to evict, the lease had three pages of eviction provisions, some of which conflicted with the other, so he did not know where to start. I redrafted the entire lease to keep those provisions that worked for him, clarify the parts that were unclear, and remove sections that did not apply to him. However, the lease should not be so simple that it is vague, unless intentional, or leaves out key terms. Shorter does not mean better.
Protect from liability. Even for those landlords who only have one rental property or employ property management companies, it is important that they protect themselves from liability in case an occupant suffers damages. This starts with verifying that they are carrying a sufficient amount of insurance. An added layer of protection from individual liability is the formation of a Limited Liability Company (LLC), which will protect the landlord’s individual assets in most cases.

An ethical will isn’t a legal document, but it can be one of the most meaningful components of your estate plan. Ethical wills allow you to pass down your values, life lessons, and personal stories to future generations. What Is an Ethical Will? An ethical will is a letter or video where you share insights, values, or family history. It’s a way to leave behind a deeper legacy that goes beyond material possessions. How to Create One Start by reflecting on the messages you want to convey. What lessons or values are most important to you? Share specific stories or experiences that highlight these themes. Why They Matter Ethical wills foster connections and provide a source of guidance and inspiration for your loved ones. While they don’t hold legal weight, they can complement your formal estate plan by providing personal context.

Technology is revolutionizing nearly every aspect of life, and estate planning is no exception. From digital wills to blockchain-secured asset transfers, advancements are making the process more accessible and efficient. Digital Wills and Documents Digital wills allow users to create and store estate planning documents online. While convenient, these tools still require compliance with state-specific laws. Some states, including Arkansas, have not yet fully embraced digital will legislation, making it essential to consult a legal expert. AI-Powered Estate Tools Artificial intelligence tools can analyze your financial situation and recommend estate planning strategies. While useful, they can’t replace the nuanced advice of a professional attorney who understands your unique needs. Blockchain for Asset Transfers Blockchain technology offers secure and transparent ways to manage and transfer assets, reducing fraud and errors. While promising, the legal infrastructure for blockchain-based estate planning is still evolving. Balance Innovation with Expertise Embracing technology doesn’t mean forgoing professional guidance. Nash Law Firm stays ahead of industry trends to offer cutting-edge estate planning solutions tailored to your needs. Contact us today for a free consultation.

A health crisis can strike without warning, leaving families scrambling to make decisions. Having a comprehensive estate plan in place ensures that you and your loved ones are protected when the unexpected happens. Step 1: Update Key Documents If you don’t already have a will, healthcare directive, or power of attorney, now is the time to act. These documents allow you to designate decision-makers for medical and financial matters and outline your preferences for end-of-life care. If you already have an estate plan, review it to ensure it reflects your current wishes and circumstances. Step 2: Communicate with Loved Ones Discuss your estate plan with your family and chosen representatives. Clear communication reduces the risk of misunderstandings or conflicts later. Ensure they understand your wishes and know where to find important documents. Step 3: Seek Professional Guidance Working with an experienced attorney during a health crisis can provide peace of mind. They’ll help you navigate legal complexities and ensure all documents are legally binding. Don’t Wait for the Unexpected Planning ahead is the best way to safeguard your future.

When it comes to estate planning, the appeal of do-it-yourself (DIY) tools is undeniable. Online platforms promise quick, affordable solutions to crafting wills, trusts, and other legal documents. But are these tools as foolproof as they claim? Unfortunately, the answer is often no. Pitfalls of DIY Estate Plans One of the biggest risks with DIY estate planning is the potential for errors. These tools use generic templates that may not comply with state-specific laws. For example, if a DIY will doesn't meet Arkansas’s legal requirements for witnessing and signing, it could be deemed invalid. Additionally, DIY tools rarely account for unique circumstances like blended families, special needs beneficiaries, or tax-efficient asset transfers. Real-life examples highlight the danger. Families have encountered unnecessary probate proceedings or lost assets because critical details were omitted or misinterpreted. These mistakes can cost loved ones far more in time, money, and stress than the initial savings from skipping professional guidance. Benefits of Professional Estate Planning An experienced estate planning attorney offers more than just document preparation. They’ll take the time to understand your unique circumstances, identify potential issues, and craft a plan tailored to your needs. Professionals can also anticipate and address tax implications, Medicaid eligibility, and succession planning. By working with an attorney, you’re also creating legally binding documents that minimize the risk of disputes. Family disagreements often arise when the intentions of a DIY estate plan are unclear or incomplete. Take Action Today Protect your loved ones and your legacy by making estate planning a priority.

For families seeking to preserve their wealth across multiple generations, Dynasty Trusts are becoming an increasingly popular tool. These trusts are designed to shield assets from estate taxes and creditors indefinitely, ensuring that wealth can grow and benefit descendants far into the future. Whether you’re looking to protect family wealth or create a lasting legacy, a Dynasty Trust could be the perfect solution. Here’s what you need to know about how they work and why they might be right for your family. What Is a Dynasty Trust? A Dynasty Trust is a long-term trust designed to pass wealth down to multiple generations while minimizing estate taxes, gift taxes, and other financial risks. Unlike traditional trusts, which often terminate after a set period or when assets are distributed, Dynasty Trusts can last for centuries—or even indefinitely—depending on state laws. The trust is typically irrevocable, meaning once assets are placed in the trust, they cannot be removed by the grantor. This structure ensures the trust remains protected from creditors, lawsuits, and taxation. Benefits of a Dynasty Trust Tax Advantages: Dynasty Trusts avoid repeated estate taxes at each generational transfer, allowing more wealth to remain in the family. Assets placed in the trust are subject to gift or estate taxes only at the time of transfer, not at each subsequent distribution to heirs. Creditor Protection: Assets in a Dynasty Trust are shielded from creditors, lawsuits, and divorces involving the trust’s beneficiaries. Wealth Preservation: The trust provides a structured way to manage and grow assets, ensuring wealth isn’t depleted by poor financial decisions or overspending. Flexibility for Future Generations: Dynasty Trusts can be tailored to meet specific family needs, such as funding education, starting businesses, or providing for healthcare expenses. Who Should Consider a Dynasty Trust? Dynasty Trusts are particularly beneficial for high-net-worth individuals who wish to: Protect significant assets from taxation and creditors. Create a lasting financial legacy. Provide for multiple generations without the risk of assets being mismanaged or lost. However, Dynasty Trusts aren’t limited to the ultra-wealthy. Families with moderate wealth can also use them effectively to preserve assets and provide financial stability for future generations. How Does a Dynasty Trust Work? Establishing the Trust: The grantor places assets, such as cash, investments, or real estate, into the trust. The trust is structured to operate in perpetuity (subject to state laws). Trustee Management: A trustee, chosen by the grantor, oversees the trust’s assets and ensures compliance with its terms. Distribution of Assets: Beneficiaries can receive distributions according to the grantor’s instructions. For example, funds may be allocated for education, home purchases, or other specific needs. State Laws and Perpetuity The duration of a Dynasty Trust depends on the Rule Against Perpetuities, which limits how long a trust can exist. Many states have amended or abolished this rule, allowing Dynasty Trusts to last indefinitely. If perpetual trusts are not permitted in your state, assets can still be placed in states that allow them. Key Considerations Irrevocability: Once assets are transferred to the trust, they cannot be removed or altered by the grantor. Costs: Setting up and maintaining a Dynasty Trust involves legal and administrative fees, which may not be suitable for smaller estates. Complexity: Proper drafting is critical to avoid unintended consequences, such as disqualification for certain tax advantages. The Role of Professional Guidance Given their complexity, creating a Dynasty Trust requires experienced legal and financial expertise. An attorney can help you navigate state laws, draft the trust document, and ensure your wealth is distributed in accordance with your wishes.

For many seniors, the family home represents more than just a roof over their heads—it’s a cornerstone of family history, filled with memories and sentimental value. But as life changes, protecting this treasured asset becomes a key part of estate planning. Without a proper plan in place, your home could be subject to probate, Medicaid recovery, or disputes among heirs. Fortunately, there are effective strategies to ensure your home stays in the family. Here’s a guide to estate planning tools that can help preserve your family home for generations to come. 1. Life Estate Deeds A life estate deed allows you to transfer ownership of your home to a beneficiary (typically a family member) while retaining the right to live there for the rest of your life. Upon your passing, full ownership automatically transfers to the beneficiary, bypassing probate. Benefits: Ensures your right to live in the home for life. Avoids probate, simplifying the transfer of ownership. May protect the home from Medicaid estate recovery. Considerations: Once established, it’s difficult to revoke or change the designated beneficiary. The beneficiary’s financial or legal issues (e.g., bankruptcy or divorce) could affect the property. 2. Irrevocable Trusts Placing your home in an irrevocable trust can shield it from Medicaid recovery and ensure it’s distributed to your heirs according to your wishes. How It Works: You transfer ownership of the home to the trust. A trustee manages the property on behalf of the beneficiaries. Advantages: Protects the home from creditors, lawsuits, and Medicaid recovery. Avoids probate. Things to Keep in Mind: You relinquish direct control of the property. The trust must be established outside Medicaid’s five-year look-back period to avoid penalties. 3. Transfer-on-Death (TOD) Deeds A Transfer-on-Death deed allows you to name a beneficiary who will automatically inherit your home when you pass away, without going through probate. Benefits: Simple to set up and relatively inexpensive. Maintains your ownership and control of the property during your lifetime. Avoids probate and simplifies the transfer process. Limitations: Does not protect the home from Medicaid recovery. 4. Gifting the Home Some seniors consider gifting their home to a family member outright. While this removes the property from their estate, it comes with significant risks. Potential Drawbacks: Medicaid’s five-year look-back period could result in penalties. The recipient may face capital gains taxes if they sell the home in the future. You lose control over the property once the gift is made. 5. Joint Tenancy with Rights of Survivorship Adding a trusted family member as a joint tenant ensures that they inherit the property upon your passing without probate. Advantages: Simple way to transfer ownership. Allows you to share ownership during your lifetime. Disadvantages: The joint tenant’s creditors could lay claim to the property. Gifting half the property could trigger gift taxes. Why Planning Is Essential Without a clear estate plan, your home may become subject to probate, where a court oversees the distribution of your assets. Probate can be time-consuming, costly, and emotionally taxing for your heirs. Worse, if you’ve received Medicaid benefits, the state may attempt to recover costs from your estate, potentially forcing the sale of the home. Proper planning can prevent these scenarios and ensure your home remains a cherished part of your family’s legacy.

Planning for long-term care is a crucial step in safeguarding your future and protecting your hard-earned savings. The cost of long-term care can be overwhelming, potentially depleting your assets and affecting the financial legacy you wish to leave your loved ones. However, with proactive planning and strategic financial decisions, you can secure the care you need without draining your savings. Here are some effective strategies to consider. 1. Long-Term Care Insurance One of the most straightforward ways to prepare for future care needs is by purchasing long-term care insurance. This insurance covers services not typically included in regular health insurance, such as assistance with daily activities either at home or in a specialized facility. Benefits: Provides financial support for various care options, reduces the burden on family members, and helps preserve your savings. Considerations: Premiums can be costly, especially if you purchase a policy later in life or have existing health conditions. It's advisable to buy a policy in your 50s or early 60s when rates are more affordable. 2. Medicaid Planning Medicaid can cover long-term care costs for those who meet specific income and asset criteria. Medicaid planning involves legally restructuring your finances to qualify for benefits without impoverishing yourself. Strategies: Asset Protection Trusts: Placing assets into an irrevocable trust removes them from your ownership, potentially qualifying you for Medicaid while preserving assets for your heirs. Spend-Down Methods: Legitimately reducing your countable assets by paying off debts, making home improvements, or purchasing exempt resources like a prepaid funeral plan. Important Note: Medicaid has a five-year look-back period on asset transfers, so early planning is essential to avoid penalties. 3. Life Estate Deeds A life estate deed allows you to transfer property to a beneficiary while retaining the right to live in it for the rest of your life. Advantages: Avoids Probate: The property passes directly to the beneficiary upon your death, bypassing the probate process. Potential Medicaid Benefits: The property may not be considered a countable asset for Medicaid eligibility. Considerations: This move is generally irrevocable; changing the designated beneficiary later can be complicated. 4. Utilize Trusts Various types of trusts can help protect your assets: Revocable Living Trusts: While these do not protect assets from Medicaid (since you still control them), they can help avoid probate and provide clear instructions for asset distribution. Irrevocable Trusts: These remove assets from your estate, which can help with Medicaid eligibility and protect assets from creditors. 5. Annuities and Promissory Notes Converting assets into income streams through Medicaid-compliant annuities or promissory notes can be effective. Benefits: Annuities: Provide a steady income while potentially reducing countable assets. Promissory Notes: Allow for the loaning of money with repayments structured to comply with Medicaid rules. Key Point: These tools must meet specific requirements to be considered Medicaid-compliant. 6. Long-Term Care Riders on Life Insurance Some life insurance policies offer long-term care riders, which allow you to access death benefits early to cover care costs. Pros: Provides flexibility and leverages existing insurance policies. Cons: May reduce the death benefit available to heirs. 7. Veterans Benefits If you or your spouse is a veteran, you may be eligible for the Aid and Attendance Pension, which provides financial assistance for long-term care needs. Eligibility: Based on service requirements, medical needs, and income/assets. 8. Early and Ongoing Planning The most critical aspect of preserving your savings is to start planning early. The earlier you implement these strategies, the more options you have and the better protected your assets will be. Regular Reviews: Life circumstances and laws change. Regularly reviewing your plan ensures it remains effective and compliant with current regulations. Professional Guidance: Laws governing Medicaid and estate planning are complex and vary by state. Expert advice is invaluable. Why Consult Nash Law Firm? Navigating the intricacies of long-term care planning requires specialized knowledge. At Nash Law Firm, our experienced attorneys can help you: Develop a Customized Plan: Tailored to your unique financial situation and care preferences.
