RESIDENTIAL WATER DAMAGE Even though time is of the essence when you find you have a flooded house, make sure you protect yourself by doing as much research as possible when searching for a Restoration Company. Find out if the company is a franchise or are incorporated and if they will stand behind their work. Review them on Yelp or verify their contractors license on the State's website. Make sure that when signing their forms they include the "Notice of Cancellation" .

PROPERTY DEEDS & DEFECTS The most common deed defect, appears in deeds transferring property held in a trust. Legally a trust cannot own property in its own name.

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF CONTRACT What you want is a judgment ordering the seller to perform the contract by closing the escrow. If the seller still refuses to deposit his deed after you get your judgment, the judge can appoint the court Clerk to sign the deed on the seller’s behalf and close the escrow without him.
