ACADIAN HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
Jump Start Your Spring with Some Home Maintenance Essentials By Bill LeBlanc, President, Acadian Home Builders Association
Warmer weather and longer daylight are approaching which makes it an ideal time to check on areas in your house and yard that may need attention. Once you tend to the wear and tear from winter, you’ll be ready to sit back and enjoy your home when spring is fully underway.
Outdoors: •
Walk around the entire perimeter of your home and check the condition of any glazing compound, caulk, and exterior paint. Replace or touch up wherever needed.
•
Inspect your deck. Replace any popped nails and re-secure loose boards. Check for boards that are decaying and need to be updated. Sweep and gently clean the decking material. If your deck is made of wood, you may need to reseal it. To determine if your deck needs to be resealed, try sprinkling the surface with water and let it stand. If the water soaks in, it is time to reseal to protect the wood from future rain and humidity
The following list will help get you started.
If you need help with your spring home maintenance tasks, contact Acadian Home Builder Association at www.acadianhba.com for a list of professionals who can help you tackle your to-do list.
•
Wipe down or hose off your outdoor furniture. Check cushions to see if they need cleaning, repair or replacement
•
Reinvigorate your yard. Seed and feed the lawn, plant annuals and cut back any perennials that need pre-growth pruning.
•
Check your roof for any signs of winter damage from heavy snowfall or debris. Consider cleaning out your gutters even if you already did it in the fall in preparation for early spring rainfall. Remember to take special care when using a ladder. Read and follow directions carefully. Check for overhead power lines, set up the ladder at a safe angle and never stand on the top rungs.
Indoors: •
Hire a professional to clean and inspect your air conditioning system. If it has a filter, make sure it’s been replaced within the last three months to keep everything working efficiently.
•
Test your windows to see if they open and close properly. If you have window screens, gently wash them with soapy water. If not, install screens and storm doors for added protection from the elements.
•
Refresh carpets and rugs from outdoor debris tracked in from boots over the winter. A good cleaning will freshen the look of the whole house.
•
Prepare your screened porch or sunroom to handle outdoor allergens. If your porch takes in a significant amount of pollen when spring is in full swing, cover furniture until pollen season is over. When you’re ready to open windows, carefully remove the sheets coated with pollen.
•
Find signs of termites early. These insects are one of the most harmful household pests. Warm weather brings out termites. Check for sagging floors and ceilings and note any dry, brown tunnels in the ground near your home’s foundation. Eliminating terminates now can save you money in the future.

GENERAL COUNSEL
WHY WOULD ONE WANT TO “RESERVE” MINERAL RIGHTS? Q: WHAT IS A MINERAL RESERVATION? MY FATHER SAYS THAT HIS COUSINS HAVE MADE A LOT OF MONEY FROM SELLING THEIR LAND WITH MINERAL RESERVATIONS. DO THE BIG OIL COMPANIES PAY YOU FOR MINERAL RESERVATIONS IF YOU SELL YOUR HOUSE OR YOUR LAND?
Stephen J. Oats
A: What you father is referring to is the retention or “reservation” by your cousins of the mineral rights in the land that your cousins sold. Basically, when someone sells their land, they sell all of their rights, title and interest in the land, which includes the rights in any minerals that could be extracted from that land. However, one may retain or “reserve” his rights in those minerals, among other things, in the sale of the land from which they are derived, and this is known as a “mineral reservation”. In this case, whoever owns the mineral rights, not necessarily
the landowner, would be entitled to any profits from the sale or lease of those minerals or those mineral rights. In this case, an oil company may have paid your cousins for entering into a lease for the extraction of those minerals. It is worth mentioning, as well, that even if someone sells his land with a mineral reservation, he will not necessarily own those rights forever until he decides to sell them. In fact, in some cases after the passage of 10 years, any rights in minerals that he may have reserved at the time he sold the land can revert to the current landowner. If you are considering leasing the mineral sin your land and/or want to find out more about your mineral rights, in general, I suggest you consult a real estate attorney who will be able to determine your rights in the land you own now and any land you have owned in the past, and you can find out more about any options available to you with regard to your mineral rights.
YOU CAN DO SOME PREPARATION IF YOU KNOW YOU WILL BE THE EXECUTOR OF SOMEONE’S ESTATE

Q: RECENTLY MY MOM INFORMED ME THAT SHE AND MY DAD HAVE DRAWN UP NEW WILLS NAMING ME AS THE EXECUTOR OF THEIR ESTATES. I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM IN ACCEPTING THE ROLE OF EXECUTOR, BUT I DON’T HAVE A CLUE WHAT I WILL NEED TO DO WHEN THEY PASS AWAY. CAN YOU SUGGEST A SOURCE OF INFORMATION OF JUST HOW ONE SHOULD GO ABOUT FULFILLING THE DUTIES OF AN EXECUTOR? SHOULD I ASK MY PARENTS TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN INVENTORY OF THEIR PROPERTY NOW? A: Before answering your questions, it’s important to point out that as long as you hire an experienced probate attorney when the time comes, that attorney will tell you what you need to do. You should also be able to find reading materials on Louisiana’s probate procedure at your local book store. If your parents lie in Louisiana, you should try to find a book written specifically about Louisiana probate, rather than one that covers
WWW.THEADVERTISER.COM
probate proceedings in other states. Depending on the size of your parents’ estate, the probate succession may be rather simple. And, you don’t really need to ask your parents for a list of their assets, bank accounts, etc. currently. After all, what they own today may differ from what they will own when they both dies. Plus, they may not want to provide that information to you at this time. Some people are very private about this type of information, even when it is a close relative asking. However, you should ask your parents where they keep all their records (i.e. life insurance policies, bank account information, etc) so that you can quickly find the information you need to probate her estate. To make your job easier, you might want to ask your parents to prepare a listing of their critical information, including the names of their accountant, lawyer, and financial planner, as well as all the passwords on her accounts and computer programs. They don’t need to give the information to you just yet, but it would be useful for you to know where this information is kept so that you can find it when they pass away.

RAA in the News A note from the REALTOR® Association of Acadiana’s CEO, Susan Holliday:
Options - there are so many options in life these days. How can you determine the best option for you if you don’t know what’s available? In real estate, the answer is easy. You have two options: 1. You can work with a real estate agent, or 2. You can work with a REALTOR®, which is the BEST option. Why? Because REALTORS® are not just agents; they are professional members of the National Association of REALTORS® and advocate a strict code of ethics. As stated by the National Association of REALTORS®, this is the REALTOR® difference for home buyers : E
. Every REALTOR® must adhere to a strict code of ethics, which is based on professionalism and protection of the public. As a REALTOR’S® client, you can expect honest and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters. The first obligation is to you, the client.
A
. Buying a home usually requires dozens of forms, reports, disclosures, and other technical documents. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes. Also, there’s a lot of jargon involved, so you want to work with a professional who can speak the language.
O
. REALTORS® can provide local information on utilities, zoning, schools, and more. They also have objective information about each property. REALTORS® can use that data to help you determine if the property has what you need. By understanding both your needs and search area, they can also point out neighborhoods you don’t know much about but that might suit your needs better than you’d thought.
E
. Sometimes properties are available but not actively advertised. A REALTOR® can help you find opportunities not listed on home search sites and can help you avoid out-of-date listings that might be showing up as available online but are no longer on the market.
N
. There are many factors up for discussion in a deal. A REALTOR® will look at every angle from your perspective, including crafting a purchase agreement that allows enough time for you to complete inspections and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase.
U - . Most people buy only a few homes in their lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each purchase. Even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change. REALTORS® handle hundreds of transactions over the course of their career. Y
. A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. And for most people, property represents the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you stay focused on the issues most important to you. Visit www.realtoracadiana.com to find a REALTOR® today.
