If you own real estate, you have probably taken considerable risk, expended a great deal of effort and have spent a significant amount of money to take possession of your property. If your property is damaged, threatened or encumbered, you deserve experienced, effective legal representation to enforce your property rights.
You do not have to hire a real estate attorney for all transactions, but it may be a good idea, especially for homebuyers. A real estate attorney can review the transaction history of the property and be sure that it's actually eligible for sale. In addition, a good real estate attorney can review the sales contract to be sure it's fair to all the involved parties.
What kind of real estate cases have you handled?
I have handled several cases involving title actions and other real estate litigation including:
One client failed to receive her disclosure papers at the time of her residential real estate closing and later learned that her broker had transferred the property to a third party. I am currently pursuing an aggressive case for fraud.
In another case, my client purchased property which the seller and title stated had been legally subdivided. The client later learned that the property had not been subdivided and was subsequently worth far less. I negotiated a settlement favoring our client.
A client wished to establish a mixed-use, residential and commercial "safe house" as an extension of the church he founded. The neighborhood in which the safe house is to be established attempted to stop its development. I brought the matter to the city council and argued successfully for a conditional-use permit, allowing our client to proceed with his plans.
Regardless of whether you are buying a home or a commercial property, you should seek the advice of an experienced real estate attorney. I can explain the nuances of zoning and title transfers to ensure not just that your purchase goes smoothly, but that your plans and goals for the property can be achieved.
