In the wake of the devastating Los Angeles fires, helping affected families recover is our top priority. A key part of the process involves gathering essential documents, coordinating with relevant agencies, and building relationships with professionals who can assist in rebuilding efforts. Here’s how we can help:
Gathering Essential Documents
To streamline the claims and rebuilding process, it’s crucial to collect the following documents:
- Grant Deeds – Identify title companies to verify ownership.
- Deed of Trust – Identify lenders to request insurance company details and property appraisals.
- Building Plans & Permits – Send requests to the City or County to obtain necessary records.
- Property Information Research – Gather historical and current property data from online sources such as Google Maps, Earth, and real estate listing sites to document past conditions.
- County Assessor Records – Request property appraisals, valuations, and any other pertinent details.
Sending Letters for Disaster Relief Support
To ensure that affected homeowners receive the assistance they need, we will send letters to:
- Current and former insurance carriers – Requesting pre-claim notices and disaster relief support.
- Existing lenders – Seeking disaster relief assistance.
- LA County Tax Collector – Requesting relief on tax obligations.
- Utility companies – Inquiring about possible aid or deferments.
- Other disaster relief organizations – To identify additional resources and support programs.
Coordinating with Government Agencies
We will work closely with local, state, and federal agencies to secure disaster relief support, including:
- California Association of Realtors (CAR), National Association of Realtors (NAR), LA County, State Emergency Services, FEMA, and other relevant organizations to address shelter, food, and long-term lodging needs.
Partnering with Experts for Property Recovery
- Forensic Appraisal Companies – We will locate a firm in Los Angeles or a company that can operate in LA with strong ties to insurance companies. This ensures accurate property valuations for claims and rebuilding purposes.
- Premises Liability Claims Adjuster – This expert will assist in compiling insurance claims and ensuring they are properly structured for submission.
- Engineers, Architects, and General Contractors – These professionals will play a vital role in the rebuilding process:
- Engineers will conduct surveys and design assessments.
- Architects will assist in redesigning homes and buildings.
- General Contractors will help homeowners bid on construction plans to obtain necessary funding.
