How Can a Real Estate Lawyer Help?
An experienced lawyer should be consulted prior to any prospective real estate transaction. There are several ways in which your lawyer from Stoner Law Offices will protect you in any dealing. Specifically, you could benefit from working with a lawyer in all of the following ways:
Contract Review:
All real estate purchase and lease contracts are legal agreements. As such, they usually contain pages of legal jargon that are difficult for most individuals to understand. Many times people negligently sign a contract and don’t find out the extent of what they agreed to until it’s too late. Do not let this happen to you! It is always prudent to have an attorney read over any potential contract before you sign anything. It could save you a lot of stress in the long run!
Contract Drafting:
All buying and selling of real estate must be executed in writing to be legally valid. A poorly written contract can ruin a real estate transaction. A real estate attorney from Stoner Law will write a contract that is succinct and protects your interests.
Searching and Handling of Property:
You can only purchase a property if it is for sale from the legal owner. Prior to purchase, your attorney will conduct a title to ensure that the seller is the rightful owner and has good title. Additionally, they will find out if there are any liens or encumbrances against the property. If there are issues, your attorney will explain more about ways to resolve any claims on the property. Then they might go through the required steps and obtain proof that the claims are resolved prior to closing.
Handling the Closing
A real estate transaction is not complete until closing, when the title legally transfers from the seller to the buyer. Your attorney can make the process less stressful. Additionally, they have the ability to resolve any legal disputes between the buyer and seller.
Do I Really Need a Real Estate Attorney?
People usually do not want to involve a lawyer unless they really need to. However, sometimes failure to consult with a real estate lawyer can result in creating more problems. Seeing an attorney right at the start of a problem can actually save you more time and money instead of just trying to solve it yourself. An experienced real estate lawyer has gone through intensive study to learn all the complexities of real estate law.
No amount of research can protect you from all the potential issues that could arise. As such, if you truly want protection, you need to work with someone who has extensive knowledge of real estate law. That is where Stoner Law comes in.
