Thanks!
I am a lawyer - but not a real estate lawyer - and I live in Florida. Florida is a title insurance state - and even a "simple" title change may require an endorsement to an existing title insurance policy or a new title insurance policy. Which may or may not have an impact on any existing mortgage(s). There are also all kinds of court filing requirements (and fees). Don't know beans about the law where you live - but I'd figure out what I had to do to accomplish my goal before I worried about FF miles.
Also - the ethics rules in Florida say that lawyers can accept credit cards (although the credit card fees cannot be passed on to the client). They don't say that anything similar to points/miles is allowed to induce the client to hire the lawyer. Also - we have pretty strict advertising rules. IOW - I think a lawyer here might run into ethics problems by offering anything other than the points/miles that come with the use of your credit card. Robyn
