On January 14, 2010, over 150 property managers, trustees, developers, attorneys and even one chef crammed into the Sheraton Braintree Hotel to listen to MEEB's own Stephen Marcus and Mortgage Master's Patty Raymo discuss recent changes to Fannie Mae and FHA requirements for condominium financing.  The seminar, which lasted well over two hours addressed important issues such as the elimination of the popular spot approval process and the implementation of a new direct endorsement lender review and approval process.   

MEEB Attorney Edmund A. Allcock recently scored a resounding victory in the Appeals Court in the case of Post v. McHugh.  At issue in the case was whether Richard and Virginia Angelo had the right to: (1) use a dirt road private way and a paper street abutting its property in an uncompleted subdivision, (2) to expand the dirt road to its full forty foot width, and (3) to improve and pave the road and clear limbs and trees to which the neighbors staked an ownership claim.  Unfortunately for the Angelos, they purchased their house in 2006 unaware of the existence of litigation that had been pending in the Land Court for nearly ten years relative to the use and ownership of a dirt access road, which was the only means of access to their home.
