Areas of Practice

Attorney Ianello practices law in the following areas.

Real Estate

Owner’s Title Insurance is so important. As a homeowner, by electing an owner policy when purchasing a home, you would be covered against the legal and financial consequences resulting from a claim that may jeopardize your ownership of the property. It is a one time fee when you purchase the property and you are covered for the entire value of your property for as long as you own it. This is the biggest investment of your life – protect it.

Declarations of Homestead are available to an owner or owners of a home who occupy their property as their primary residence. The Homestead protects these individuals from eviction of their home as a result of certain types of liens being filed against them. This document should be filed with the Registry of Deeds when the property is initially purchased, but can be filed at any time if it has been previously forgotten.
