I will be discussing various areas of law on this blog, see a full list of legal topics at the end of this article. The first area of discussion will be areas of real estate and title law. If you are in search of a local attorney or real estate title company in Aventura, fill out the contact form above. Here’s an overview of an attorney’s role in a real estate closing.

ROLES OF A REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY AT CLOSING

Real estate law encompasses a wide range of areas relating to acquiring, financing, developing, managing, constructing, leasing and selling residential and commercial property. I’ve been asked to provide a brief and general synopsis for some of the roles of a real estate attorney at a closing.

As many homeowners know, during a real estate closing, the buyer and seller are brought together, the significant documents are signed and payment is made. While this may seem like a relatively simple process, conducting a real estate closing is, in fact, a complicated matter. Accordingly, many buyers and sellers often turn to lawyers for assistance in making the closing process as stress free as possible.

The complex phases of a real estate closing include examination of title, completion and explanation of legal documents, and the resolution of possible title difficulties. Real estate closing attorneys conduct the steps by examining title records for prior conveyances, unpaid mortgages, liens, judgments, easements, and other encumbrances or clouds on title. They confirm the seller has the authority to convey good title and that no errors exist in the chain of title. They negotiate with title insurance companies for insurance coverage to insure titles against any adverse claims of ownership, liens, and easements. Next, they combine this information into one set of closing documents which are explained to the buyer and seller in a simple manner so the parties understand the issues involved in the transaction. These issues include the terms of the sales contract, the findings and analysis of the title search, significance of the title search, the quality of title, the extent of risks, the obligation to close or not to close, and the process of closing itself.

Finally, at the end of the closing, the attorneys disburse the funds, record the relevant documents as public records, and prepare title insurance policies for the purchaser and lender. While not all states require an attorney at closings, I have always recommended their use since a qualified real estate attorney can save you from costly mistakes, such errors in documents or figures, which could result in litigation or other expensive legal action in the future.

The Future of Healthy Living

I recently had the pleasure of running into an old friend of mine, Dr. Vladimir Turovsky of the Center for Integrative Medicine here in Aventura, and when I heard what he has created at his Biscayne Blvd. Clinic, I knew I had to share it with all Aventura residents.

It is apparent that residents of Aventura take healthy living seriously. Whether it’s the Country Club Drive circle that is always bursting with people running, walking, cycling, and rollerblading; or that we have not one but two health food markets, it is clear that the residents of Aventura have a conscious mind toward a healthy lifestyle. Yes, we strive to be physically fit and we enjoy fine meals, but how aware are we that our moods and our emotions are key factors, along with nutrition and exercise, in preventative medicine?

Since 1995 Dr. Turovsky has been helping people relieve pain and suffering with Oriental Medicine including acupuncture, physical therapy, natural herbs, and other remedies. His clinic welcomed and rehabilitated many people who were ailing after treatment in western medicine like pharmaceuticals, surgeries, etc.

Since I know Dr. Vladimir personally, I can share with you that he decided to become a Doctor of Oriental Medicine when he saw firsthand how acupuncture and proper diet helped his mother overcome serious health issues that brought her in and out of the hospital for months. There was no denying the positive change in his mothers’ health and quality of life. That’s when Vladimir realized that alternative health care is complimentary to western medicine and, in some cases, preferable.

As he explains, most people see acupuncture therapy as a last resort, something to try when all else fails! If they had only come to him as one of their first options of medicine, they may have not needed to suffer as long as they did. In fact, there are early warning signs of illness that we should be mindful of. Addiction and urges towards an unhealthy lifestyle (smoking, overeating) are symptoms of emotional unrest that if left unchecked will lead to serious health complications.

With this in mind, Dr Vladimir teamed up with several like-minded professionals, therapists, nutritionists, even a minister, to offer a comprehensive preventative health care clinic right here in Aventura. Their mission is to heal the hurt before it becomes chronic or irreparable. Services include a two-hour smoking cessation treatment and they guarantee you’ll walk out of the clinic a non-smoker. They also have had great success with weight reduction, even offering an appetite suppression treatment for those who “just want to lose a few pounds”. And there are no unwanted side effects with their therapies as nothing synthetic is introduced into the body.

For those of you who are afraid of needles, they now use state of the art lasers to treat a variety of conditions, including cravings for nicotine, fat, and sugar. Classical Acupuncture and Laser Therapy help the body be and do what it’s supposed to, naturally.

The clinic still treats pain and ailments but hopes to expand its reach into the healthy living community and to educate the public on the benefits of taking care of our moods and emotions before they cause disease in the body. They even offer a 20 minute anxiety/stress relief therapy. Workaholics can schedule one on their lunch break.
Their combination of consultation and treatment make for unparalleled service and professionalism. The moment you meet Vladimir and his partners, you feel their warmth and heartfelt desire to assist you in living the best life possible.

Traffic Safety Camera Program

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - (Business Wire) The City of Aventura, Florida has signed a contract making American Traffic Solutions its first-ever vendor for the city’s traffic safety camera program. All the systems will be equipped with ATS’ latest ultra high resolution digital cameras.

What's happening to Aventura? Camera are NOT the answer to traffic issues. Does this mean that the City might gain revenue from the traffic tickets they can mail drivers because they were caught violating on camera or is it to have a record of accidents and jams that occur? Either way this does not solve our traffic problem.

One main source of traffic is the popular Aventura Mall. This mall is even more popular since Nordstrom was built. I think that the Aventura Mall should CHARGE for parking. This will eliminate the people that come to the mall just to hang out or window shop. I imagine there's a large percentage of people that would stop driving through Aventura if the mall was not a FREE destination. Let's be honest, the shops won't miss any of that business and then just maybe we'll have less traffic around town. I don't mind paying $5.00 for parking, would you?

Do you have any suggestions? What do you think about these new digital traffic cameras?

Aloft Hotel is part of the first rate Starwood Hotels and Resorts. There was an awesome article on HotelInteractive.com explaining the new venture. It gives a detailed account about the area and the two companies.

Here's a few key statements from the article, read more about the Aloft Aventura

Centrally located between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Aventura is known as a golf haven given its vast selection of courses. Just minutes from world-famous South Beach, The community offers balmy weather, beautiful parks and easy access to Miami Seaquarium, Coral Gables, Hollywood Greyhound Track, and the Aventura Mall – a 2.4 million square foot retail center with fine dining, high-end shopping and movies.

Brian Columbus, Founder & CEO of Homeperks.com

What do you think of the hotel?

I haven't been to any Aloft hotels, so I can't comment on that chain of Starwood Hotels. I have been to the W Hotels and they're amazing. Since these are rumored to be mini W hotels, I'm sure it will be a perfect addition to the City of Aventura. A great addition to the short list of hotels in 33180.

Is it a good fit for Aventura?

Aventura has traffic issues, so more development will likely create more traffic problems. That being said, I'm sure a specialty hotel will be a successful project in Aventura. This is because Aventura demands first rate services to cater to the luxury condo community in the surrounding area. The recent 125 million dollar Aventura Mall expansion of expensive designer shops is proof that Aventura is not slowing down its need for luxury services. I think that the Starwood Cabi venture is a perfect match for Aventura and will likely be a destination for tourists that want to stay in Aventura during their visits to South Florida.
