I am a licensed attorney who has been practicing California law since 2013. As a licensed attorney, I have acquired significant experience in almost every area of the law. I’m currently pursuing remote career opportunities, as I currently reside in Wilmington, NC. I moved to Wilmington in September 2019 (because my partner became a federal judge here) and started my own California law practice (while working from Wilmington) in February 2020. I am now excited to explore new career opportunities. I am seeking a role that will be an excellent fit for me, given my professional experience, skill set, inherent creativity and extroverted nature.

Mortgage Legal Questions and Answers

Mortgage

Mortgage Agreement (OLD)

Texas

Asked on Jan 12, 2025

Can a lender require me to pay off my existing mortgage in full before refinancing?

I am currently considering refinancing my mortgage to take advantage of lower interest rates. However, I recently received a letter from my potential lender stating that I must pay off my existing mortgage in full before they will approve the refinance. This requirement caught me off guard as I was under the impression that refinancing involves transferring the balance from my current mortgage to the new loan. I am wondering if this is a common practice among lenders and if it is legal for them to demand full repayment of my existing mortgage before refinancing.

Phillip Z.

Answered Jan 25, 2025

Typically, you pay off your existing mortgage at the closing for the refinanced mortgage. At closing, some of the funds from the new loan are used to pay off your old loan. This ensures that the existing mortgage is fully settled and the latest mortgage takes it's place.

Mortgage Loan Agreement

Michigan

Asked on Mar 2, 2022

Need a letter stating that loan is closed to sell house

Took out home equity loan in 2007 with Morgan Stanley fell into hard times and couldn’t finish paying it now I’m trying to take care of it because I’m trying to sell the house

David H.

Answered Mar 18, 2022

Hello, my name is David. I am a licensed attorney in Michigan. Was the loan discharged or was the house foreclosed on? They should have sent a letter. However I think I can help find the right group in the bank and get a letter explaining what happened. You may also want to look at your credit they may have the phone number and information there so you can reach out to Morgan Stanley. This is something I can help you with that would take a couple of hours, but I can't be certain until I look into it a little bit more & gather more information from you. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your question. Attorney Dave.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
