Real Estate Legal Process

Here's How We Protect Your Investment

First, we review your purchase contract thoroughly, identifying any terms that could work against you and negotiating better language when needed. You’ll understand exactly what you’re agreeing to before you sign anything.

Next comes the title search and examination process. We investigate the property’s legal history, ensuring there are no liens, encumbrances, or ownership disputes that could affect your purchase. Any issues get resolved before closing.

During the closing preparation phase, we coordinate with all parties – real estate agents, lenders, title companies, and the other side’s attorney. We review all closing documents in advance, so there are no surprises at the closing table.

At closing, we’re there to guide you through each document, answer your questions, and ensure the transaction completes properly. Your deed gets recorded correctly, and you walk away with clear ownership of your property.

New York State requires attorney representation for real estate transactions, but even if it didn’t, you’d want one. Real estate contracts contain dozens of legal provisions that can significantly impact your rights and financial obligations. An experienced attorney reviews these terms, identifies potential problems, and negotiates better language when needed. We also handle the title search process, ensuring you’re not inheriting someone else’s legal problems with the property. The cost of legal representation is minimal compared to the financial protection it provides.
Most residential transactions close within 30-45 days from contract signing, assuming no major issues arise. Commercial deals often take 60-90 days due to additional due diligence requirements. The timeline depends on several factors: mortgage approval processing, title search results, property inspections, and any necessary repairs or negotiations. Having an experienced attorney helps keep things moving by addressing issues promptly and coordinating effectively with all parties. We also identify potential delays early, so you can plan accordingly rather than being surprised by last-minute problems.
Title issues are more common than most buyers realize, but they’re usually resolvable. Common problems include outstanding liens, boundary disputes, or errors in previous deeds. We work to resolve these issues before closing, often by negotiating with creditors, obtaining releases, or requiring the seller to clear the title as a condition of sale. In some cases, title insurance can provide protection against certain defects. If title problems can’t be resolved satisfactorily, we can help you exit the contract and recover your deposit, protecting you from a problematic purchase.
Real estate attorney fees in Nassau County typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 for residential transactions, depending on complexity. Commercial deals generally cost more due to additional due diligence and document review requirements. Most attorneys charge a flat fee for standard transactions, so you know the cost upfront. This fee covers contract review, title examination, closing preparation, and representation at closing. When you consider that attorney fees represent less than 1% of most property purchase prices, it’s a small investment for significant legal protection and peace of mind.
Property boundary disputes require careful legal analysis of deeds, surveys, and sometimes historical records to determine the correct property lines. The first step involves reviewing your deed and any available surveys, then comparing them with your neighbor’s documentation. Many boundary disputes can be resolved through negotiation once the facts are clear. If litigation becomes necessary, having an attorney familiar with Nassau County property law and local court procedures is essential. Some cases may require hiring a surveyor to establish definitive boundaries, but most disputes settle once both parties understand their actual legal rights.
Real estate law involves specific knowledge of property regulations, title issues, zoning requirements, and local market practices that general practitioners may not encounter regularly. A real estate attorney understands common transaction problems, knows how to resolve title issues efficiently, and has established relationships with local title companies, lenders, and real estate professionals. We’re also familiar with Nassau County-specific regulations and procedures that can affect your transaction. While any attorney can technically handle a real estate closing, you want someone who deals with these issues daily and can spot potential problems that less experienced attorneys might miss.
