My Readability Guarantee
My memos and agreements won’t make your eyes glaze over. You’ll be able to make decisions using them. You shouldn’t have to pay a lawyer to interpret them.
I write documents for you to read. Other lawyers write documents for lawyers. They write at a graduate reading level. Every document I write for you will be at a 10th grade level per the Automated Readability Index.
I structure documents for readability. Other lawyers use ALL CAPS, justified text, narrow margins, no line spacing, and no color. These strain your eyes and reduce readability. I use document design best practices to improve your experience.
And if you do need help interpreting an agreement down the road, I promise to help you at my current hourly rate. If what I wrote wasn’t clear, that’s on me, not you.
Client Story: Fourplex TIC Agreement
Question: We are two couples who bought a fourplex. We’d like a tenancy in common agreement to clarify our co-ownership. We’re planning to share the cost of interior unit renovations proportionate to our interests. We’re thinking about adding a fifth unit. Can you give us voting rights as individuals rather than as couples?
Answer: Yes, I can draft a space assignment TIC agreement for you. That agreement is a contract between the owners. It can come after the purchase.
Many people use a TIC agreement to mimic a condo structure, but you’re looking to share your finances more. I’ll start with my template for groups who are looking to share finances.
Adding a fifth unit will require approval from the California Department of Real Estate for an undivided interest subdivision. I’ll flag that in the agreement.
Yes, I can give you voting rights as individuals rather than as couples. I get asked this a lot, actually. I can do so as long as each owner group has two people. If that ever changes, voting will revert to one vote per owner.
