Dallas Home Inspection Company TexInspec, owned by Mike Crow, discusses foundations and how to care for your homes long term stability. Many times we see homes that have poor drainage because the lot the house is built on is flat. After talking to the owners we find that originally there were swales or sloping channels to help water drain away from the foundation. When the owners bought the house, they thought the yard would look better flat, or it would be easier to mow the grass, so they leveled it.

Warning: If you do level the yard, you may void any builder's warranty a new home ha [more info...]

Like inherited property, personal injury recoveries, including settlements, can be separate property. We say "can be", because moneys which are earmarked for reimbursement of medical expenses, burial or funeral costs, pain and suffering, mental anguish and the like are all referable to the injured person. Those would be therefore be considered separate property. However, be careful that you don't overlook m [more info...]
