Common Issues in Real Estate Transactions
Our services cover a wide range of topics, including title issues, contract breaches, residential and commercial contract reviews, easement rights, foreclosures, evictions, and revoked contracts. Here are more details on these transactions:
Commercial and residential contracts – Analyzing sales contracts for residential or commercial properties can help in negotiating the purchase price, securing a mortgage, and reviewing the sales agreement terms, including disclosures for any necessary repairs. An attorney’s role in a real estate transaction includes preparing deeds, obtaining appraisals, conducting title searches, arranging title insurance, and handling property transfers.
- Quiet title – A Quiet Title is a legal proceeding to establish ownership or resolve any disputes over a property’s title. It can also clear up issues like tax titles or titles based on adverse possession.
- Unlawful Detainer – Unlawful Detainer is a legal action taken to evict a tenant and reclaim control of the property.
- Breach of contract – A breach of contract occurs when any terms or conditions of a contract are violated or not performed.
- Easements – An easement is a right, privilege, or interest that one party has in another person’s land.
- Fraud – Fraudulent misrepresentation involves deliberately misleading someone to gain an unfair advantage.
- Foreclosure – Foreclosure is the process of selling pledged collateral to settle a debt when there is a default in payment or conditions.
Property Title Examination
Reviewing the title of a property to ensure it is free of any defects is crucial when buying real estate. When an attorney examines a property’s title, they will review all previous transactions to ensure each transfer was legal. If there was a past wrongful transaction, the current owner might not have the legal right to sell the property, making any transaction invalid.
It’s also important to check if the property has any outstanding encumbrances, judgments, or liens that could affect anyone who buys it. If a title issue is discovered later, a buyer might need to get title insurance to protect their investment and any lender involved in the purchase. In the Dunlap area, a skilled real estate attorney can help you review the property’s status, identify and resolve any potential issues that could lead to future disputes or liabilities. Additionally, as authorized title insurance agents for Old Republic Title Insurance Company, our attorneys can issue owner’s and lender’s title policies if title insurance is needed.
