Caribe Realty Claims Process

Early in the summer Caribe Realty offered to have Grant, Sanders and Taylor Accountants bundle the claims for Caribe Realty Rental properties. You had to sign a release and we would then provide GS & T the information necessary for the claim. They were just notified by BP that the bundling of claims would no longer be possible under Feinberg’s plan. If you have not sent your release in by now it is too late. We apologize for this late notice but GS & T just found out last night that this change would take place. As a Caribe Realty rental owner you can still process a claim and we will still provide you with the information, but it cannot be bundled as before. If you have sent this in prior to 4pm today your claim will be processed according to what was originally offered.

It appears that with Feinberg at the helm the processing will operate different than before. We will keep you up to date if anything else changes.

Thank you, Stan Szapiel
