The purchase or sale of real estate is often the largest financial transaction in our lifetime.  It involves many complex legal issues beyond the scope of real estate agents and title companies, such as estate planning, tax issues and homestead laws. 

In these current economic conditions it is critical that you have a competent attorney to advise you and protect your interests, especially if a “short sale” or foreclosure is involved. 

Title companies represent the insurance company insuring the marketability of legal title to the property subject to the “exceptions” and “exclusions” noted in the title insurance policy, which can have a negative effect on your legal rights and lawful use of the property. 

In many cases exceptions and exclusions can be removed or explained if they can’t be removed.  We can advise you of potential problems revealed by the title commitment or title policy as well as effectively negotiate disputed to obtain the best possible resolution.  However, if a resolution is not an option, we can vigorously pursue claims to preserve our clients rights. 

As a real estate attorney I have extensive knowledge and experience in real estate.  Our clients can be assured that they will receive outstanding representation with all of their real estate matters. 

In most real estate closing situations the fees for attorney representation will not exceed the statutory rates charged by the title companies.
