Real
Estate Law
Real Estate Law: An Overview
Real estate transactions are
governed by federal statutes, as
well as state statutory and common
law. Real estate law encompasses
these state a statutes and laws, as
well as property law matters. Real
estate law includes a wide variety
of legal issues relating to
acquiring, financing, developing,
managing, constructing, leasing and
selling commercial and residential
real property of all kinds,
including:
Real estate transactions relating to
representation, litigation,
consultation and negotiation of
mortgages, mortgage re-financing,
reverse mortgages, residential
purchase and sale agreements,
commercial purchase and sale
agreements
Real estate disputes, including
disputes over adverse possession,
eminent domain, condemnation,
property taxes, title and
boundaries, views, trees, branches,
party walls, fences, as well as
nuisance, trespass and encroachment,
as well as sale disputes (e.g.,
breach of contract, specific
performance, non-disclosure, fraud
or misrepresentation).
Real estate broker issues, including
claims against and defense of real
estate brokers and agents including
negligence, fraud/misrepresentation,
breach of fiduciary duty, and disclosure
obligations.
Construction defects and mechanic's
liens, including disputes that
owners, builders and contractors may
have in regard to construction
disputes, construction defects and
claims, as well as construction
accident claims.
Title insurance is insurance against
loss from defects in title to real
property and from the invalidity or
unenforceability of mortgage liens.
It is available in many countries
but it is mostly sold in the United
States. It is there to protect an
owner's or lender's financial
interest in real property against
loss due to title defects, liens or
other matters. It will defend
against a lawsuit attacking the
title as it is insured, or reimburse
the insured for the actual monetary
loss incurred, up to the dollar
amount of insurance provided by the
policy.
When a mortgage on real property is
unpaid, creditors have a right to
collect the debt when that mortgage
goes into default. A foreclosure is
a way to exercise that right by
selling the property at a sheriff’s
sale. The foreclosure process is
very complicated and time consuming.
There are many rules and regulations
involved in exercising creditor’s
rights and disposing of the property
afterward.
The final stage in the purchase of
real estate is called closing or
"settlement." This sometimes complex
procedure occurs when the parties
submit the final documents required
to complete the sale according to
terms of the purchase and sale
agreement. Money and documents are
usually exchanged at the time of
closing, and the function may be
attended by the parties and their
lawyers.
There are many reasons to hire a
real estate attorney for your real
estate needs. You do not necessarily
have to be involved with any
litigation to benefit from a
qualified real estate attorney's
counsel and assistance in a variety
of matters including a real estate
closing where a real estate attorney
can protect you from costly
mistakes, errors in the documents,
errors in the figures and other
problems that could lead to
litigation or other expensive legal
action.
Real estate attorneys also represent
and assist business entities in a
variety of commercial real estate
issues including real estate
investment opportunities,
acquisitions and sales, real estate
construction and development, farm
and ranch acquisitions and sales,
leasing, landlord/tenant matters,
land use, zoning, eminent domain,
financing, refinancing, mortgages
and foreclosures, and other
commercial real estate matters.
