In this episode of Ask Joe, Attorney Joe Seagle discusses how to navigate lawsuits against a dissolved land trust. Joe explains that if a land trust has been dissolved and someone sues the trust, there is usually no need to hire an attorney or defend the action because the land trust no longer exists and has no assets.

However, if the plaintiff tries to go after the beneficiaries, there is no clear answer in Florida law. In the past, attempts to go after beneficiaries after the trust has been terminated have been unsuccessful. It is recommended to use another LLC or corporation as the beneficiary of a land trust for added asset protection. If the plaintiff manages to sue the land trust and reach the beneficiary, having an LLC or corporation as the beneficiary ensures that the judgment is worthless as they have no assets. It is advised to have an LLC or corporation as the beneficiary for any property other than a homestead property.

Welcome to another episode of Ask Joe! ️ Attorney Joe Seagle answers one of the most frequently asked questions: how to take title to your real estate. Joe recommends that married couples take title with both spouses as "tenancy by the entirety" for maximum asset protection. This means if one spouse faces legal issues, the property remains protected. For unrelated parties, joint tenancy with rights of survivorship or tenants in common are common options. However, forming an entity like an LLC or land trust can offer better asset protection and easier management. Joe emphasizes the importance of consulting a real estate attorney, especially if you're buying property in Florida, to understand the best way to hold title based on your specific situation. He also highlights the importance of having a will to ensure your property is distributed according to your wishes.

In this episode of Ask Joe, Attorney Joe Seagle explains what a 1031 exchange is and how it benefits investors. A 1031 exchange allows investors to defer capital gains tax and depreciation recapture tax by replacing an investment property with another property. Joe highlights the importance of holding the replacement property for at least two tax years and ensuring it is held as an investment property, not a second home. Renting out the property and advertising it as a rental is crucial to prove its investment status. After holding the property for two years, it can be converted into a primary residence, potentially allowing for the primary residence exclusion on capital gains tax.

The Loper-Brite case, overshadowed by other events, will have a significant impact on the way businesses operate in the United States for the next 40 years. The case involves the determination of who should pay for federal monitors on fishing boats. The Supreme Court's decision in the Loper-Brite case overturns the Chevron doctrine, which previously allowed federal agencies to interpret and enforce laws passed by Congress. This decision will lead to a reevaluation of existing regulations and a potential loosening of regulations in various industries. It will also result in increased litigation and challenges to federal rules and regulations.

In this episode of Ask Joe Anything, Real Estate Attorney Joe Seagle discusses the Do's and Don'ts of wholesaling. He explains that wholesaling involves investors getting properties under contract at a low price and then assigning the contract to an end buyer for a fee. He emphasizes the importance of advertising the property as an assignment of contract to avoid practicing real estate without a license. Joe also addresses recent legislation in South Carolina that some believe will end wholesaling, but he disagrees and believes it simply codifies best practices. He warns wholesalers to be cautious of legislative and regulatory scrutiny and to address any issues promptly to protect the industry's reputation.
