Finally, we manage the entire closing process. All documents are prepared and reviewed in advance. We’re there with you at closing to handle any last-minute issues and make sure everything is executed properly. You walk away with clear title and the confidence that everything was done right.

Complete Legal Coverage for Property Transactions

Whether you’re buying your first home or acquiring commercial property for your business, you get comprehensive legal representation that covers every aspect of the transaction. Contract review and negotiation ensures you’re not agreeing to terms that could hurt you later.

Title examination and resolution handles the complex ownership history that could affect your rights as the new owner. If there are liens, easements, or other title issues, they get resolved before closing – not after you’ve already bought the property.

For commercial deals, we handle the additional complexity of zoning issues, environmental concerns, and business-specific contract terms. Investment properties get the extra attention they need for rental agreements, tenant issues, and regulatory compliance.

Even “simple” residential transactions involve complex legal documents and significant financial risk. A purchase contract might look straightforward, but it contains clauses about inspections, financing, title issues, and closing procedures that can cost you thousands if they’re not handled properly. New York real estate law has specific requirements and deadlines that must be met exactly. One missed deadline or overlooked title issue can derail your entire transaction or leave you financially exposed. The cost of legal representation is minimal compared to the potential cost of mistakes.
Real estate agents help you find and negotiate the purchase of property, but they can’t provide legal advice or handle the legal aspects of your transaction. A real estate attorney reviews contracts from a legal perspective, ensures your rights are protected, handles title searches, resolves legal issues that arise, and manages the closing process. While your agent works to get the deal done, your attorney makes sure the deal is legally sound and protects your interests. In New York, having an attorney review your contract before signing is standard practice and highly recommended.
Real estate attorney fees in the Glendale area typically range from $800 to $2,000 for residential transactions, depending on the complexity of the deal. Commercial transactions generally cost more due to their increased complexity. This fee usually covers contract review, title examination, closing preparation, and representation at closing. When you consider that you’re making a purchase worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, the attorney fee represents a small percentage of the transaction value while providing significant protection against costly legal problems.
Title issues are more common than most buyers realize, but they’re usually resolvable with proper legal handling. Common problems include outstanding liens, boundary disputes, easements, or errors in previous deeds. When title issues are discovered, we work to resolve them before closing. This might involve negotiating with lienholders, obtaining releases, correcting documentation, or working with title insurance companies. In some cases, the seller needs to resolve issues before the sale can proceed. Having an experienced attorney handle these problems ensures they’re resolved properly and don’t affect your ownership rights later.
Yes, The Frank Law Firm P.C. handles both residential and commercial real estate transactions throughout Glendale and Queens County. Residential work includes single-family homes, condos, co-ops, and multi-family properties. Commercial transactions involve office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and investment properties. Commercial deals typically involve additional considerations like zoning compliance, environmental issues, lease reviews, and more complex financing arrangements. Whether you’re buying your first home or expanding your business, you get the same thorough legal representation tailored to your specific type of transaction.
Contact a real estate attorney as soon as you’re serious about buying or selling property, ideally before you sign any contracts. Many buyers make the mistake of signing a purchase contract first and then looking for legal representation, but your attorney should review the contract before you’re legally bound by its terms. For sellers, early involvement helps ensure your property is ready for sale and any potential legal issues are addressed upfront. Having an attorney involved from the beginning prevents problems and ensures smoother transactions. Don’t wait until problems arise – prevention is always better and less expensive than fixing mistakes later.
