Investing in real estate is no easy decision. From navigating complicated legal jargon to finishing mountains of paperwork, completing the process can be confusing and time-consuming. One of the best ways to streamline the process is by hiring a real estate attorney. Our experts explain everything you need to know about real estate law.
What Is A Real Estate Attorney?
While the job title may seem simple, a real estate lawyer fills many more roles than just helping purchase or sell property. Our main goals at Handin Law are:
- Explaining in detail the contract and other documents and process of the transaction.
- Keeping you from making expensive mistakes.
- Make sure every step of the transaction follows state and national law.
- Resolving any conflicts between parties.
Unlike other lawyers, real estate attorneys undergo special training to handle property issues efficiently and effectively. Some of their many specializations include laws applying to deeds, estate planning, property tax, real property, titles, and zoning. As they are licensed in the state they practice, they have a vast knowledge of the laws and regulations specific to the area. Real estate lawyers in Florida may also fulfill the role of your closing agent. Hiring an attorney, such as those at Handin Law, specializing in real estate is in your best interest.
