Legal rights for gay and lesbian clients. 


You may have heard about the October 25, 2006 ruling of the New Jersey Supreme Court in a case called Lewis v Harris. In that case, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that the New Jersey Constitution required the State of New Jersey to provide gay and lesbian couples with the same legal rights and benefits as it provides to straight married couples, and gave the New Jersey legislature 180 days to pass laws to insure full compliance with its ruling.
This decision is another crucial legal step which New Jersey has taken to reach the point where gays and lesbians are treated as equal under the law. Prior steps along this path include recent amendments to the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, forbidding discrimination based on sexual orientation in the areas of employment, housing, and obtaining credit, and the 2004 New Jersey Domestic Partnership Act, which granted gay and lesbian couples the opportunity to obtain critical rights in the areas of health care visitation and decision making, tax benefits, pension issues, funeral arrangements, inheritances, and guardianships. In the Lewis v Harris ruling, the New Jersey Supreme Court, recognizing that these laws did not go far enough to protect New Jersey’s gay and lesbian citizens, ruled that gay and lesbian couples must be given the chance to obtain every single benefit accorded to straight couples, including rights in the areas of property ownership, taxes, family leave, wills, and parental status.
Lesbian and gay couples who are relocating may want to consider these legal developments in evaluating whether to move to New Jersey or another state. We note that the New York State courts have rejected a similar claim. Thus as a legal matter, New Jersey is a far more appealing place to live than New York State if you are in a committed lesbian or gay relationship.*

Real Estate Tips
Selling Your Home >Why Is It Not Selling

If you are selling your home and it has been on the market for several months, you might start to wonder why it just isn't moving. How can you introduce some extra energy into the sale?

The first thing you should do is have a frank talk with your real estate agent in order to get feedback from prospective buyers who have seen your home, and other agents who have shown it. Does your home look its best? Is it accessible for agents to show on short notice? Is the price in line with the rest of the market? Do you need to consider neutralizing any strong decorating features that may not have wide appeal?

Getting your home sold is a collaborative effort between you and your real estate agent. It is important for your agent to market your property aggressively, but you must do your part to ensure that buyers see a home that is as appealing as it can be. Ask your agent for any new ideas that will create results.

Why settle for one real estate agent when you can have two? Real estate teams are popular on the West Coast. But here in the Montclair area they are relatively rare.

Martha and Lina have formed a partnership that offers a wide range of business skills, salesmanship and creativity to ensure that home sellers get top dollar.
