Why have an attorney?
Buying real estate is a
complicated business. There are
complex legal and title issues,
plus a whole new vocabulary of
unfamiliar terms to deal with.
What’s more, for most people
it’s still the biggest single
purchase they will ever make.
With all this in mind, don’t you
want someone on your side who is
expert and knowledgeable? Your
real estate attorney can look
out for your interests, ensure
you get a clear title to your
new property, as well as help
you protect your investment for
the future. Legal advice offers
you something the average
homebuyer really needs and
usually lacks: knowledge of the
subtleties and peculiarities of
real estate law and the transfer
of property rights and title.
At a real estate closing today,
many buyers go without counsel
of their own. This means, in
effect, that they’re not taking
advantage of all the benefits of
legal representation.
Just consider all the ways a
real estate attorney can help
you. Before the closing, your
attorney can explain the
following:
• Your liability if assuming an
existing mortgage.
• The effect of any existing
mortgage and construction liens.
• Alternative means of
financing, including the effect
of mortgage prepayment.
• Where and how to file for
homestead exemption.
• The seller’s liability after
the sale.
• Post-contract liability for
fire and other hazards.
