Pre-nuptial Agreements...

Quite often, pre-nuptial agreements are thought of as negative. In some cases, however, a pre-nup can be very helpful and even create peace of mind. A pre-nuptial/pre-marital agreement defines to whom property belongs and can prevent legal arguments later, should a divorce or death occur. The agreement covers three areas: during marriage, upon divorce, upon death of a spouse. Some people that can benefit from a pre-nup might include those who own a business or Tulsa, OK. commercial property, have children or someone needing special care, or have many assets or higher valued assets.

One thing that all parties should ensure, when planning a pre-nup is independent counsel. Another is honesty and full disclosure of each parties assets. Without full disclosure, the agreement may not be valid later on.

Things to Consider Before Building a Tulsa, OK Commercial Space!

When building a new commercial space in Tulsa, OK, there are so many decisions to make, from the location and builder to which carpet and paint to choose. Keep the following tips in mind before you decide to build a new commercial space:

• Location- Work with your Realtor when purchasing land and building your commercial space to make sure that the location you desire will fit your budget as well as the style and size you want. Don't find out after purchasing that you can't do what you want or that the market will not handle your specific plans. Also, keep in mind that your
  Realtor is familiar with commercial real estate in the Tulsa, OK area.
  
• Building- Select your builder carefully! Ask for recommendations from your Realtor, after all they work with builders everyday. Ask builders for referrals and contact them. Ask plenty of questions and don't be afraid to get more than one quote!
• Products- Once you have purchased land, selected a builder, and begun the building process, there will be many products to choose. Ask about your options and shop around in advance to make sure you get what you want at the price you want. When selecting roofing products and styles- keep in mind your budget, style of building, and the weather in your area. Remember that by adding ridge vents or using certain materials you can decrease your energy costs. When selecting flooring products- remember to check wear, stain resistance, and even product type (such as carpet, tile, or hardwood).
  
• Mortgage Options- Check with your mortgage banker to find out what mortgage options are available to you. Make sure you know your budget and how much down-payment is required.

Too Much Stuff in Your Tulsa, OK Commercial Property?

Is your Tulsa, OK commercial property full of "stuff". Here are a few quick tips and questions to help you get your commercial space de-cluttered in no time.

• Sometimes it can be helpful to de-clutter before tackling any cleaning. Once you de-clutter there will be less stuff to clean and less stuff on counters, floors, and tables to move around.
• When de-cluttering, set out three boxes. One box is for things to keep, one is for things to donate, the last is for things to throw away. Consider these questions when deciding what to do with each item. Do I need the item? Will I ever use this item again? When did I use it last time? Has it got sentimental value? If it needs repair, will the repairs be made?
• Be realistic when de-cluttering. If you are short of space or haven't used it in a while, throw it away or donate it.
• Don't take a lot of time when de-cluttering. Many times, the longer you spend on one item, the more likely you will convince yourself that you need to keep it. If you still find it difficult to decide, put it aside for later and come back to it.
• If you find there is something, especially large items, that you need to keep but don't have space for, put it in storage.
