People who are looking to purchase any property have the right to hire an attorney to protect their interests. While it is not mandatory, it is advised. Property owners who are experiencing issues with a property settlement or tenants that default on a contract find the services of a real estate litigation attorney to be helpful in filing the necessary legal documents for the courts.
Lawyers know the paperwork that is required to begin the litigation process in the courts. The process of litigation is warranted when the other party fails to comply with any terms of a contractual agreement; this could be failing to disclose information about the property or failure to secure a clear title paperwork. Many factors can hold up the sale of a property or cause a deal to fall through. These factors can cost buyers as well as sellers thousands, which are often not recouped. Hiring a real estate litigation attorney can cost people more money up front, but can also save them thousands in the future on bad real estate deals.
Catching a problem with a sales contract before the sale becomes final can mean avoiding issues that could potentially bankrupt a buyer or be grounds for future lawsuits that may come before the court. A real estate lawyer can verify that a property has no liens against it and that it has a proper title filed with the local registrar’s office. These are just minor issues that delay a property deal. A lawyer can also search the courts to make sure that there are no lawsuits involving the property. An unsuspecting buyer can find themselves being held responsible for something just for purchasing the property.
