As a law firm, we are always keenly aware of the risk of litigation. When attorneys aren’t involved in the sales process, mistakes are often made and left to be dealt with after the sale – in a lawsuit! The last thing you want is for you to purchase your first home, the home of your dreams or an investment property and end up in court. Did the Buyer assume the solar lease? Did the Seller fully disclose? Very few real estate agents know that it’s important to order and review your Seller’s title report before listing the home, for example. A good attorney will catch judgments attached to a property that you may not have even known existed or encroachments discovered while under contract that could affect your ownership. Those issues should be addressed before the home is listed for sale or before you buy it, not after it’s too late.
