M. E. Kincaid

Plain-language field guides for New York homeowners facing foreclosure and for people representing themselves in court.

About

From uninformed to informed.

M. E. Kincaid writes for the person holding court papers they don't understand yet: what the documents mean, how a New York foreclosure moves from notice to sale, and what to organize before talking to a lawyer or legal aid.

The books are published with The Polanco Firm, an education and referral resource for New York homeowners and self-represented litigants.

  • Checked against the source. Every statement about the law is verified against the official text of New York's statutes before it goes to print.
  • Questions, not verdicts. Anything that depends on the facts of your case is framed as a question to bring to a professional.
  • Written to be used. Checklists, timelines and worksheets you can fill in, not just read.
