Retaining air rights means you legally control the space above your property to a certain height. This can affect neighboring development, views, and potential for future construction. The rules & regulations governing air rights can vary significantly from one location to another -- as well of what is possible in one city might not be the same in another. You really need to consult a legal professional to understand local regulations and create agreements if needed.

  • If I sell my home, will my boyfriend receive part of the sale?

    I wanted some clarification before deciding to put my home on the market. My boyfriend and I purchased a home together several years ago. We split up so he signed a quitclaim deed but is obviously still on the loan. If I want to sell my home that I have been making payments on myself for the last 8 years. Does he need to sign anything and would he be entitled to any of the sale money?
