Getting the homestead protection or the appeal of your homestead exemption denial process started is easy, yet it is often regarded as a most difficult task. You may ask "What is the best plan for me? Which attorney(s) should I use, or should I even use an attorney? How much will it cost me? How long will it take? Should I even appeal my denial of Homestead Exemption?"

It is very hard to get all of these questions answered in a fast and efficient manner. There is so much  misinformation available on the internet that it is very hard to know how to begin. Often, just reaching a live person on the phone can take days--missed calls, phone tag, receptionists, consultation fees--and your case fails due to missed deadlines. Getting the information you need is a time consuming and inefficient process, and although your attorney may be an effective estate planner or real estate expert, he may not specialize specifically in homestead related issues and may even provide misinformation or non-current information on the subject matter. That's why we are here to help you!

Here is a better way to get your homestead exemption and your home's equity protected...

Step 1 - Send us an
e-mail or fill out the form below. Give us the basic facts about your family situation; type of business (if run from your home); a general description of your home and equity amount (if known) and what you would like to accomplish. If you have specific liability concerns, let us know. Also, tell us anything else that you think would be helpful. The more details you provide, the more helpful it will be. This information is strictly confidential and is legally protected. Send E-mail to myhomestead@bellsouth.net or fill out the form below on this page. You can also call us at any time. We will not send you any spam or unnecessary communications...and we will only respond with what information you request or concerns that you have.

Step 2 - We will review the information you have sent and reply with a general description of the process that we would recommend for you regarding your specific situation. We will also tell you the complete and total amount of fees and costs associated with your personalized exemption plan. It should take somewhere between a few hours and a day to get back to you. We will respond to every communication or e-mail promptly. If we can't help you, we will let you know, and the reason(s) why. We may also recommend a specialized law firm to help you at that point if you request us to do so, or if we feel it is appropriate.

Step 3 - After you have received our reply, you can either e-mail or telephone to schedule a detailed discussion. We can meet you in person if that is appropriate, if the traveling distance is not too great. Once we know the basics, we can have a useful conversation with you and offer specific recommendations should that be required. 

Step 4 - After we have developed a plan, you will be sent a Limited Power of Attorney and Company-Client Agreement specifying exactly what we will do and the total and complete costs involved. There are never any hidden costs or fees. If you approve, we can begin the work immediately. In most cases the planning and paperwork takes approximately 1 day to a maximum of 1 week from start to finish. Then another 1 to 5 days for the total completion process. Appeals to the VAB are a bit longer due to time requirements. You may be able expedite your process for an additional fee depending on the county or jurisdiction. Contact us on this matter.

Step 5 - Once the work begins, and until it is finished, we will be in constant communication by whatever method you prefer. We will speak to you, your CPA or local attorney so that he or she knows exactly what we have done, if required. As a valued client of ours, you are free to call anytime with questions or concerns, and our knowledgeable staff will let you know if there are any new developments or matters that deserve your devoted attention. 

This program is designed to allow us to establish initial communication quickly, effectively and directly, without needless appointments, wastes of time, travel and endless phone messages. You'll get the answers you need in the fastest and most efficient manner. Then, you make the final decision. All of our communications and consultations are at no charge, and we will make every attempt to supply you with complete answers to all of your questions, and we also perform free legal research regarding your specific circumstances if necessary.

Also, let us know if you need to appeal a tax exemption denial to the Value Adjustment Board or if you need a direct referral to an attorney who is a subject-matter expert. If you have been denied a homestead exemption for any reason, contact us now! You have a limited time to appeal to the Value Adjustment Board. We are experts in this subject and we are here to help.
