Whether you’re buying or selling a commercial or residential property, a real estate lawyer can play a crucial role in your transaction, often saving you time, money, hassle and possible legal problems. The residential and commercial real estate law attorneys of McLin Burnsed have years of experience representing both buyers and sellers of Florida real estate. We help to ensure that all real estate matters are conducted smoothly and in compliance with all applicable real estate laws and regulations, including:
Contract review and negotiation. We will prepare or review the home or commercial property purchase or sales contract to make certain the terms affecting you are fair and reasonable. We can negotiate any changes or additions needed to promote your best interests. We also provide legal assistance with drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial leases and deed contracts.
Title search and review. Your attorney will conduct a thorough title search to ensure that the property being bought or sold has a clear title. This includes checking public records and confirming there are no liens, encumbrances or other issues that could impact your smooth ownership or sale of the property. We also look out for any established easements and other variances that could impact the transaction.
Title insurance review and preparation. We assist with title insurance, including a thorough investigation of title data to protect against claims involving past disputes, and quiet title actions, to settle ownership and clear a title. We also prepare title policies designed to document and protect your rights.
Legal advice. We provide experienced advice regarding any real estate issues that may arise, including zoning or land use issues, property tax concerns, or disputes with the other party. We will review any leases, contracts and other legal documents to ensure there are no hidden issues or liabilities, such as environmental or zoning issues, that might complicate the sale. Our skilled measures can help prevent serious complications, even failed real estate transactions, preserving your time, money and peace of mind.
Closing representation. Your real estate attorney can attend the mortgage loan closing with you, to assure that all necessary documents are properly and accurately executed, recorded and filed. McLin Burnsed real estate attorneys can also draft, review and explain all real estate financing terms and documentation, including less common elements like HUD-1 settlement statements, and ensure that all funds are properly disbursed.
Dispute resolution. In the event of a dispute regarding such things as title insurance claims, land access and boundaries, zoning disputes, powers of attorney disputes, and other actions, we can represent your interests in negotiations, mediation, or, if necessary, through powerful litigation.
