Ask An Attorney Anything About Real Estate Law

[Edward Schenkel]

Hey all, I am relatively new to the group. I am very impressed with the experienced professionals here and am glad that I stumbled upon this site.  I am a seasoned real estate attorney and enjoy not only practicing law but teaching about real estate law. I would be happy to answer any legal questions anyone has about Connecticut real estate.

Regards,

Ed Schenkel

Morning BP, 

Just wanted to take a moment to publicly thank Ed for helping me out with a title issue that I had that cost me at a 3-4 buyers on a property in which was assigning the contract.  Before Ed and I had spoken, at least 4 attorneys and at least 2 title insurance companies had looked at the issue and deemed it an interesting and unique situation that had no easy/fast/cost effective solution. Spoke to Ed by chance - he had sent me a colleague invite here on BP and I saw he was a commercial/residential real estate attorney so figured it couldn't hurt to ask him if he saw the issue before. 

Ed had said he has seen similar situations, just not the same as mine. Asked me to give him a call - While on the phone he started looking up Affidavits and case laws - meanwhile this is a Sunday night around 9 p.m. Within a day and a half he had fixed the situation and had one of the original title insurance companies to change the stance on the issue and issue a title insurance policy. 

Ed did all this when I was not even his client, he just met me - not even in person!!! Imagine what he does for his clients.

Thanks again Ed,

Bill
