In this episode of the Yesner Law Podcast, we talk about the differences between the Florida Homestead Exemption, and the Homestead Exemption in Florida. What is the difference? One is based on Florida's Constitution and Statutes, while the other is a reduction of the taxable value of the home. The two are related just less so than people think. To find out more, please visit our website. We have many blogs discussing the homestead exemption, including http://www.yesnerlaw.com/blog/2013/05/homestead-asset-protection-strategies.shtml, or you can send me an email at [email protected].

What happens when a creditor charges off a debt? Does the borrower still owe it? Does it report on credit? Can the creditor sue for it? We answer these questions and more in this episode of the Yesner Law Podcast. Many people get confused on what happens when a debt is "charged off." We hope you enjoy this episode and if you have questions, please email me at [email protected], or visit the website at www.yesnerlaw.com.

In lucky episode 13 of the Yesner Law Podcast (one-quarter of the way through a full year of episodes!) we discuss partition lawsuits.

Interpleader is the type of lawsuit that is filed when a real estate transaction is cancelled and the buyer and seller disagree as to who is at fault, and therefore who should get the good faith deposit held by the title company. The problem is that the title company, even if it is an attorney who represents one party, does not have the authority to determine which party is at fault and which party should keep the deposit. Therefore, the title company files an Interpleader Action and deposits the money with the Clerk of Court, to then let the Court decide who is entitled to a return of the good faith deposit.
