Deed and Record, New Service of Interspousal Quit Claim Deeds for California and Hawaii Real Estate Property
Thursday, January 05th, 2012 /

Irvine, California (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

Deed and Record (http://www.DeedAndRecord.com) offers new service for family law court orders awarding real estate property in a decree of divorce. Deed and Record has the expertise to meet the unique requirements of the states of California and Hawaii. Deed and Record is a complete service and includes:


Title search to determine the precise legal description of the real property, including map, block and lot number
Research to determine how title is held
Prepare the quit claim deed for signature
Prepare transfer tax exemption reports to keep the deed free of transfer tax and property tax
Filing the deed with the County Recorder’s Office for California real estate property.
*Filing the deed with the Bureau of Conveyances for Hawaii real estate property.

interspousal grant deeds for Real Estate Property

One spouse is awarded real estate property pursuant to a court order from either a litigated judgment or marital settlement agreement. The process is not complete until actual title of ownership is changed in the public recorder. The non-owning ex-spouse transfers his or her interest to the owning spouse.

Transfer of ownership is by quit claim deed also known as an inter-spousal deed. To make the transfer a court order is needed. Often the transferring spouse is not comfortable signing of ownership interest until the judgment is obtained or the transfer document is overlooked or omitted from the judgment package. If the transfer deed has not been prepared at the time of judgment, it can be done any time after entry of judgment.

Deed and Record provides the documentation needed to complete the court order. Deed and Record files these documents with the appropriate government agency so the ownership change is on the public record.

Californias Recording System

California maintains ownership records by county. Each County in California is responsible for knowing who owns each and every real estate property within the boundaries of that County. The interspousal grant deed is filed with the County Recorders office.

Intersposual deeds in California are exempt from transfer tax and property tax base increase. The grant deed needs on its face a reference to the California tax law that exempts the deed from a transfer tax. The Preliminary Change of Title Report provides information to establish why the transfer is exempt from an increase in the property tax base. Deed and Record provides the transfer tax exemption law reference and the Preliminary Change of Title Report.

Hawaiis Recording Systems :

Hawaiis recording systems are complex. Documents are recorded either in the Land Court system, Regular system or both. When recorded in both land systems, documents are said to be recorded in the Double system. Deed and Record provides service to both the Land Court and the Regular System .

Interspousal deed transfers are exempt from transfer tax. But the exemption must be requested on a document Form P-64B Exemption from Conveyance Tax. Deed and Record prepares both the deed and Form P-64B.

Any real estate property recorded in the Land Court requires a Petition to the Land Court to recognize the divorce or dissolution of marriage. Hawaii no longer allows timeshares in the Land Court. Timeshares currently in the Land Court are removed as title is changed. This requires decertification of the timeshare. Deed and Record prepares the documents needed for the Land Court.

Additional quit claim deed services

Trust Transfer Deeds

Deed and Record prepares documents to transfer real property into a living trust. Any real estate property not in the trust is at risk for probate. A trust may be prepared. But the deed transferring ownership into the trust is needed.

For more information http://www.deedandrecord.com/trust_transfers

Add or Remove Joint Tenant

If real property is held in joint tenancy, upon the death of a joint tenant, the deceased joint tenants interest disappears and the survivor has sole ownership. The county recorder must be notified of the death and the public records updated. This is done with an affidavit death of joint tenant. Deed and Record has provided the affidavit for signature and recording.

For more information http://www.deedandrecord.com/add_or_remove_a_co-owner

Timeshares

Deed and Record provides quit claim deeds transfer of title for owners of timeshares. Quit claim deeds are needed to give away a timeshare; add or remove a joint tenant; add or remove a spouse and transfer the timeshare into a trust

California Vacation Rental Business Booming
Wednesday, January 04th, 2012 /


Arnold, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

Cedar Creek Realty, a vacation rental and property management company in Arnold, California reports that vacation rentals are being snapped up in the area.

“This was the best July we’ve ever had. It was record numbers for us,” said Kelley Stellar, vacation rental manager for Cedar Creek Realty in Arnold. “Many people who used to take their vacations to Hawaii, Europe or Tahoe are coming up to the Arnold area these days.”

Stellar believes this is partly due to the poor economy and partly due to the recent “discovery” of the Arnold area by young families in the East Bay of California’s San Francisco Bay Area.

Stellar estimates there are between 150 and 300 vacation rentals available in the greater Arnold area. Renters often just stay for the weekend, but week- and month-long stays are becoming increasingly common.

From a business perspective, experts believe that turning a second home into a vacation rental is a good way to supplement income. “It’s a great idea in this point in time,” Stellar said. “All of my rentals are second homes. Now, because of the economy, they have decided to rent them out for extra income.”

Stellar said that along with the booming rentals, home sales are also up in the area. “We get people who actually are up here looking to purchase a home to put it in a vacation rental program. They know that now is a good time buy.”

There are two main seasons for vacation rentals. During the summer, families come up for vacations and enjoy the lakes and rivers and exploring the mountains. In the winter, numerous skiers head to the hills. “From the third week in June (when kids get out of school) through Labor Day” is a booming time, Stellar said. “We start getting busy again when the snow flies around Thanksgiving. That lasts through Easter.”

Who rents?

People come from all over the state and beyond to stay in the cabins and homes in the Arnold area.

“Most people are coming in with two to three families,” Stellar added. “They rent the larger houses. Usually, it’s families. People in their 30s with children ranging from 5 to 13. We get a lot of them from the Bay Area.” Luckily for owners, there are very few younger renters, and the cabins do not receive very much damage. “We don’t get a lot of the 20-somethings up here,” Stellar said. “Almost all of them are families. I really don’t get a lot of damage. I might get a spill on the carpet from kids carrying a Coke. Really, it’s very good.”

Why Arnold?

“People have actually started to discover us,” Stellar said. “We have a whole lot to offer. Once somebody comes up here once, they go home and tell their friends and bring their friends up. Then they come back up year after year. They often use the same cabin every year. It’s kind of a tradition. It’s actually becoming a big draw.”

“If you’re taking a family of five to go skiing and go to Tahoe, you spend a bundle. You can come here instead and spend a lot less.”

“I think it’s more beautiful here,” Stellar said. “It’s a beautiful easy drive from the Bay Area. The people up here are incredibly friendly. There is so much to do. From Murphys all the way up, there is so much diversity.”

Blue Lakes Springs is one of the most popular rental areas because there’s a lot to do within the subdivision.

“Most people are looking for the recreation areas,” Stellar said. “Blue Lakes Springs is very popular because of all the activities they offer. Most families want something for their kids to do.”

This popularity of the vacation rentals has led to home sales rising as well, as some vacationers want a permanent home in the scenic Highway 4 corridor.

About Cedar Creek Realty

Cedar Creek Realty’s staff offers both the local knowledge and the big city expertise to handle the real estate needs of full-time residents and second homeowners from the San Francisco Bay Area.

Teraoka & Partners LLP Celebrates 35th Anniversary
Monday, January 02nd, 2012 /


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 16, 2011

Teraoka & Partners LLP, a preeminent Pacific Rim law firm in California, is celebrating its 35th anniversary.

In keeping with this celebration, the firm is also happy to announce that its Managing Partner, Steven G. Teraoka, has again been named a Super Lawyer of Northern California, recognizing him in the top tier of practicing attorneys in Northern California. Steve recalls that at the age of 13 he already knew that he wanted to be a lawyer with his own firm.

Steves family roots, cultural traditions and natural affinities run deep in both Japan and the United States. In April 1906, after a long and arduous voyage from Japan via Hawaii, his grandfather sailed into the San Francisco Bay in April 1906. The City was still burning from the Great San Francisco Earthquake. Even in flames, the City beckoned as an exotic new home for the Teraokas.

During law school, Steve worked in a prestigious Beverley Hills entertainment law firm. I worked on projects for Robert Mitchum and Toshio Mifune and met Jimmy Durante, to name a few. He also interned for the United States Securities Exchange Commission at its Western Regional Headquarters in Los Angeles. After law school, he studied international tax and business transactions in Japan, and then Steve returned to San Francisco to work for a boutique corporate securities, real estate and tax firm and to pursue the dream of having his own practice in the City By The Bay. In 1976, he opened his own practice in a tiny office on San Franciscos Barbary Coast. There, he could touch both walls with his outstretched arms, and the lunchtime odors of the Clown Alley hamburger shop wafted into his window each day.

Steve admits that when he started his practice, he did not consciously intend to build a Pacific Rim business practice. I really enjoyed interning with the SEC, and I enjoyed doing deals, and wanted to continue work in securities and business transactions.

Like many successful attorneys, Steve has a strong competitive streak. Do not tell him that he cannot win the USTA California District Tennis Championship (his team did, in 2010), or finish a marathon at age 60, and do not tell him that he cannot bust a California monopoly (he did, in 1980). Indeed, a strong driving force in Steves career has been the compunction to succeed against all odds.

Steves penchant for taking on challenges brought him to the forefront of a major effort to deregulate the tour bus industry in San Francisco in the early 1980s. After numerous successful appearances before the PUC obtaining licenses for sight seeing companies, Steve ultimately caught the notice of Japan Travel Bureau, then one of the worlds largest travel agencies. Against all odds, and in spite of the fact that he was the rookie attorney in the courtroom, Steve led the way to win the precedent-setting case that deregulated bus tours and sight seeing operations in California. Ultimately appealed to the California Supreme Court, the ruling favoring Steves clients was allowed to stand.

From that time forward, Steve has consistently earned the respect of many significant Asian business leaders in California and the U.S. Today, his firm has a portfolio of Pacific Rim business clients that are indeed blue chip, including Kikkoman Sales USA, Inc., JFC International, Shogakukan, the Goldilocks Group of Companies, Furukawa Sangyo North America, Nomura Research Institute, and affiliates within the NTT Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Group.

Even stronger than his competitive spirit is Steves talent for helping Japanese business clients to thrive and grow in the United States. He also enjoys counseling American businessmen as to how to best engage with Japanese businesses for mutually beneficial results. In that sense, Steve has always sought to bridge these two cultures, their economies and their commerce.

In 1976, he joined the Japanese Chamber of Commerce of Northern California (JCCNC). In 1994, Steve was elected President of that organization and, as President, welcomed Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress of Japan in their historic Royal Visit to San Francisco. Speaking at the official Welcoming Ceremony for the Emperor and Empress at the St. Francis Hotel, before an audience of over 900 people, was truly one of the great honors and personal highlights of my professional career. He has continued to remain active on the Board of Directors of the JCCNC for over 30 years, seeking to facilitate the successful establishment and growth of Japanese businesses in the U.S.

He has successfully negotiated contracts for American celebrities to endorse Japanese products. In that regard, he has enjoyed working with Karen and Richard Carpenter, Cheryl Ladd, Steven Spielberg, Farrah Fawcett and Sammy Sosa. My early stint in Beverly Hills served me well. I was not intimidated by Hollywood entertainment lawyers and was familiar with their complicated licensing structures.

He helped Seiji Horibuchi found and build Viz Media in the United States, which ultimately brought Pok

Bill and Phyllis Hopkins of Ohio are this months spotlight owners. They have been Hilton Grand Vacations Club Members since 2007 and they own at West 57th Street by Hilton Club in New York City as well as at Parc Soleil by Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Orlando.

Our passion is to explore new places and discover new cultures. With timeshare they have gotten to do that, visiting Paris, Brussels and London as well as many U.S destinations.

With over 8 million owners and a satisfaction rate of 85 percent and an occupancy rate that outpaced hotel occupancy by more than 20 percent*, it is clear that this segment of the travel industry is faring well.

Next month, look for happy owners from Wyndham Vacation Resorts who are passionate about their timeshare. All timeshare fans are invited to tell their story here.

About Timeshare

Timeshare and vacation ownership are often used as interchangeable terms. Timeshare may be purchased through deeded property ownership, right-to-use or a points-based program. Owners purchase a villa, usually in one-week increments, within a fixed (same week each year) or floating system. Floating time allows the owner to schedule each years vacation for the desired week within a specified season. Vacation ownership may also be used to describe the three main options of shared use: timeshare, fractionals, and private residence clubs.

*State of the Vacation Timeshare Industry Study 2011, conducted by Ernst & Young LLP.

The American Resort Development Association (ARDA) is the Washington D.C.-based professional association representing the vacation ownership and resort development industries. Established in 1969, ARDA today has almost 1,000 members ranging from privately held firms to publicly traded companies and international corporations with expertise in shared ownership interests in leisure real estate. The membership also includes timeshare owner associations (HOAs), resort management companies, and owners through the ARDA Resort Owners Coalition (ARDA-ROC).

Taber L. Anderson Joins True Life Communities to Ramp-Up Acquisitions
Tuesday, December 27th, 2011 /

San Ramon, California (PRWEB) December 20, 2011

Underscoring the commitment of True Life Communities to seek out land and building opportunities in todays market, a new member, Taber Anderson has joined to lead the firms Land Acquisition team. Taber will be spearheading acquisition efforts in California, Colorado and Arizona. His extensive 24-year background includes development of some of the most notable award-winning master plans in the Scottsdale and Phoenix submarkets: Desert Highlands, Desert Mountain, Superstition Mountain and Sun City Festival/Festival Ranch. His expertise covers real estate investment, acquisition and development finance, community development and both production and custom home building.

As a Managing Director with Crown Realty and Development of Southern California, Taber was responsible for the resort/residential division which acquired and developed the prominent $ 330 Million Montelucia Resort, Spa and Villas project in Paradise Valley/Scottsdale. Prior to that, Taber served five years as President of the Lyle Anderson Company in their investment, operating and development entities. Over 17 years with this iconic real estate investment and development firm, he held several project management and executive level positions. In addition to the award-winning communities in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Tabers tenure with the Lyle Anderson Company also included development of the well-known master plans of Las Campanas in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Hokulia in Kona, Hawaii; and Loch Lomond in Luss, Scotland.

When asked what he considers when evaluating the current market acquisition opportunities Taber replied, The diamond in the rough today is the opportunity to acquire strong submarket unentitled and partially entitled land positions that require reasonably patient capital coupled with a truly experienced entitlement team. By virtue of their mandates and shareholder sentiments about the overall economy today most public building companies cant go after this type of acquisition. Smaller investors prefer simpler smaller opportunities because they can turn them faster; however, this can create too much competition for these types of projects and as a result drives acquisition prices to levels that are often not supported by market fundamentals. True Life Communities has the ability to go after the less obvious play and possesses the expertise to work through the due diligence and value-creation process effectively yielding attractive investment capital returns. We know how to back into the true land residual value and drive significant value from that basis.

In exploring the potential of a future investment or development Taber considers what the community is lacking, what people are seeking that they cant find and how to translate those tenets into value for both the consumer and True Life Communities. We also diligently study our land so we can understand and appreciate what its telling us with the goal of creating communities that generate minimal environmental impact but maximize the potential. We want to create neighborhoods that exist harmoniously within the greater fabric of the community. These principals mesh extremely well with the viewpoint of True Life Communities and Taber brings the expertise to ramp up land efforts and execute on this type of vision.

Taber received his Bachelor of Arts from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, and performed selected studies in the Real Estate Development Masters program at Columbia University in New York. Recently Taber has been a managing partner with New York based Columbus Nova Partners in the acquisition and entitlement of multiple real estate investments in the Southwest. Taber is accomplished in acquisition, finance, entitlements and master-planned communities. In addition to production and semi-custom home building, Taber also has experience in hospitality/residential mixed-use resorts.

Having such a broad background in the industry, Taber considered the opportunity to join the team at True Life Communities very appealing. The team here is inspired by the changes in the economy today, rather than being put off by the demands. Its necessary to change your way of thinking and to change the way youve done things in the recent past, because the market has shifted so dramatically., commented Taber. Its really an exciting environment and you can feel the energy in the conversations you have with everyone on the team. Im excited at the future we can build.

Taber is a great fit for us, said Scott Clark, Managing Member and CEO. His background is not only stellar for the task of land acquisition, but he understands the market in several locations, not just California. This gives us the ability to move into other markets quickly as the tide turns.

The company is currently building homes in Pleasanton, Hayward, Hayward Hills, Fair Oaks in Sacramento, and Blythe, California. Two new communities are slated to open in 2012, and the company also recently closed on 2 new land transactions in the Bay Area.

True Life Communities is a diversified real estate investment, consulting and construction firm specializing in land development and home building activities. Headquartered in San Ramon, California, the company plans to develop land and build new home neighborhoods throughout the western United States, focusing on thoughtful attention to detail creating communities of enduring value.

True Life Communities derives its name from its dedication to building homes that embrace lifes true moments first steps, graduations, reunions. This firmly held belief inspires their work.

Military Spouse Business Association Announces Partnership With U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Sunday, December 18th, 2011 /


(PRWEB) January 13, 2012

Today, the Military Spouse Business Association (MSBA), Americas Military Family Chamber of Commerce, announces its membership in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and partnership in the Chambers Military Spouse Business Alliance. MSBA is pleased to be part of the Chamber and its effort to support military family employment, said Rikki Winters, MSBA President, Navy spouse, and owner of All In One Desktops.

MSBA, Americas Military Family Chamber of Commerce, will assist the Alliance with entrepreneurship for military spouses by providing opportunities, support and networking for entrepreneurial spouses to share best practices and experiences for building profitable and portable businesses.

MSBA, with its nearly 1000 military family members, was founded in 2006 by military spouses across the country. MSBA is virtual and supports military spouse entrepreneurs in overcoming the additional odds of building businesses and producing family income, wherever the military assignment may take them. Business ownership provides financial stability for active duty military families and a bridge to families of veterans.

On January 13, the MSBA will be part of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Military Spouse Career Forum at the Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Over 1,000 spouses are expected to attend from one of the most densely populated military communities in the nation. The event is the nation’s largest career fair dedicated exclusively to military spouses. At the event, the MSBA is available to military spouse entrepreneurs who will be present to encourage those who desire to start or build their own businesses.

MSBA estimates 10% of military families either want or already own their own business, which is usually run by the spouse. There are all types – professional consultants, photographers, real estate agents, and product-based; but they share one thing – they have to be portable and flexible as military families move, on average, once every three years.

I have moved our family business from Georgia, to Virginia, to California and now to Hawaii. After the boxes are packed I have to update my website to let customers know orders will be delayed until we are unpacked in the new location, says Joanna Williamson, Navy spouse and owner of Atta Girl!
