Business and Property Law Articles by Anthony M. Wright, Juris Doctor:
Loan
Modification If
you purchased a home within the last ten years, chances are you agreed to pay
more than the house is now worth. You may be eligible for a
loan modification which would reduce your monthly payments and other terms of
your loan. The State of Nevada has enacted a mediation program for
homeowners facing foreclosure with the goal of allowing families to stay in
their homes. Mediation is available to homeowners of owner-occupied
houses who receive foreclosure notices that were filed after July 1,
2009. If you have received such a notice and wish to proceed through the
mediation program to save your home, please contact us. If you do not
seek mediation within 30 days of receiving the foreclosure notice, you could lose
the right to mediate and your lender can complete the foreclosure. Property Rights Property rights are fundamental to
our way of life in the United States. As a republic with a capitalist economy, we must continue to fight for
freedom of ownership and control over what is ours. As part of the need
for safety, and to ensure the greatest amount of freedom to all, the government
does impose necessary restrictions upon property use and ownership. For
instance, you may own a car but you have to have a government license to drive
it on public roads because everyone else wants to know that you meet the
minimum safety requirements before you operate a device that can kill (see also
guns, boats, airplanes, etc.). Likewise, ownership of real estate
is controlled. Government must ensure proper maintenance and development
of real estate so that it will not be dangerous to others. In other
words, if you own a piece of land, you cannot just go and blow up bombs on it
without approval from the government because, if you do, you could kill a
neighbor which would severely restrict your neighbor's rights to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness. In addition, real estate must be regulated
in order to maintain the property values of neighbors. To many, it can be a royal pain in
the neck and expensive to comply with all the regulations, but comply we
must. Most of the time, local laws are relevant to regulate real estate,
however there are federal laws as well. For instance, if you own a
business or multi-dwelling residential complex, the Federal Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) requires that certain conditions must be met in order to
ensure accessibility to the less fortunate among us. The burden to the
property owner to be in compliance, and it is a burden, is considered less of a
burden than the constant burden a citizen with a disability must face. Disabled
folks are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness too, so there
is often a tension between competing interests. Also, let us not forget
the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA),
which are intended to prevent discrimination against minorities. Because property rights are so
important, Attorney Anthony Wright studied real estate at University and earned
his degree, Bachelor of Science in Business/Real Estate
Studies. At University, his classes included: Real
Estate Finance; Real Estate Investment; Real Property Law; Insurance Law;
Management; Accounting; Marketing; and Business Administration. He
graduated in the top one percent of his class. After graduation, Anthony then
attended law school, where again, he focused most of his coursework on property
related themes. His classes included: two semesters of Property Law; two
semesters of Contract Law; one semester of Wills, Trusts and Estates;
one semester of Community Property; one semester of Estate and Gift Tax; one
semester of Law Practice Management; and one semester of Land Use
Regulations. Again, he graduated in the top of his class. Following law school, Anthony worked
on various projects involving land use in Las Vegas, during a time of
phenomenal growth in the Las Vegas Valley. Besides managing rental units,
he worked on applications for business licenses, permits, and variances on
projects ranging from basic residential projects (permits for fences,
setback variances, etc.) to commercial uses (casinos, strip clubs,
and restaurants). He also worked for a year and a half on large complex
litigation lawsuits defending builders from alleged defects in buildings.
Construction defect law involves builders' violations of laws, codes, and
industry standards of care which devalue buildings and pose threats to health
and safety.
