Drafting And Reviewing Real Estate Contracts
Buying or selling a residential property is an exciting but daunting task. Having a solid real estate contract means that the expectations of both buyer and seller have clearly been identified. The contract includes a clear description of the property of both parties, the agreed-upon purchase price, any earnest money deposit amount, the closing costs that must be covered, and the proposed closing date.
Once both parties have reviewed the terms spelled out in the contract and signed it, it becomes legally binding. At Patrick McLain Law, our real estate attorneys will review the contract with you to make sure you understand exactly what you are committing to when you sign.
Real Estate Purchases And Sales
When buying or selling real estate, a real estate attorney by your side can mean that you always have someone with whom you can discuss important issues that might arise, such as contract contingencies. They will help you discuss and resolve them to avoid any misunderstandings.
While the seller’s attorney is in charge of drafting the contract that will lay out the terms of the deal, the buyer’s attorney will work with the lender to get whatever information and documents are needed to finalize the loan that will serve to purchase the property.
Complete Title Insurance Service
At Patrick McLain Law, you can enjoy the benefits of working with residential real estate lawyers within a firm that has its own title company. The main role of a title insurance company is to verify that the title of the real estate in question is legitimately given to the new home buyer. This means that the seller verifiably has the right to sell the property to the interested buyer. After we conduct the verification process, the title insurance will protect both the lender and the new owner should someone make a claim on the property in the future.
Full-Service Representation At Closings
You want to make sure the closing process is completed seamlessly. At Patrick McLain Law, we focus on delivering an enhanced closing experience through our highly trained closing agents. They are certified to ensure all necessary documents are signed and verified and the funds from the sale or from the refinance of the property if that is the case, are properly disbursed.
Litigation For Breach Of Contract
The law considers every piece of property to be unique, and that’s why contract law indicates it has its own special remedy. When a breach in a real estate contract occurs, the injured party can request the court to force the transaction to proceed due to the uniqueness of the property in question. If you are facing this situation, our lawyers can give you the legal help you need to resolve the issue.
Foreclosure Disputes
If you are facing foreclosure, hiring a lawyer from Patrick McLain Law is essential. If there is a valid defense and you hope to be able to keep your home, you need an attorney. You may have to file a lawsuit or respond to a foreclosure lawsuit, and our lawyers can guide you through the process of filing the documents with the court. Don’t try to do this alone. We’re here to help.
Landlord Representation In Evictions
Whether you are a property owner, manager, investor, financial institution, or tenant, our real estate lawyers from Patrick McLain Law have you covered.
