Real Estate & Development
Are you thinking about buying property? Whether the land be a house, farm property, hunting preserve, developing a subdivision, or a commercial building, our lawyers can help you realize your investment with personal attention, little hassle and comfort. Maybe you are the seller and want to be sure you are covering all the real estate bases.
It is critical to have a lawyer check title of a property you are buying. One of our lawyers owned a title company and knows how to make sure you are protected from a bad title. Just because the seller owned the property for a long time, doesn’t mean the title is good and clear. You must be sure because this could be the largest investment you ever make. A deed with a proper description of the land must be executed (signed) and delivered. You need an attorney to make sure title is clear (provide title insurance if needed) and either prepare the deed or let you know the deed complies with Alabama law. The laws of Alabama govern real estate transactions because statutes and common laws regulate how titles pass from owner to owner. There are likely Federal Laws that control as well. If you are financing the purchase or even if you are the seller, those laws must be satisfied. A lawyer can help you with the day-to-day specifics of ownership transaction and other aspects and concerns you may have.
Let us help you so you can relax knowing the proper procedures are being performed.
