Is there a lawyer in the house?
You have your eye on an old farm house that's been empty for years, but the fence lines don’t seem to match the survey and someone claims that the only access to their farm field is through your new yard. In real estate law, situations like that are more common than you might think.
The sale or purchase of real estate is one of the largest financial transactions you will make in your lifetime. Purchase agreements, title matters, and deeds need to be carefully prepared or reviewed. Capital gains savings on sales of real estate and other tax consequences need to be considered, as well. The Law Offices of Bromm, Lindahl, Freeman-Caddy & Lausterer have many years of experience, and a solid knowledge regarding real estate transactions. Put this expertise to work for you the next time you buy or sell a home.
Before you close, call
In most states, Nebraska included, it's not required to have a lawyer present when entering into a purchase agreement or closing on a real estate purchase. The typical closing documents are long, complicated, and full of technical or industrial jargon. Most people just sign them without reading them. If you are unsure about the process, calling an attorney to help interpret the documents may save you distress in the long run.
When to hire a real estate lawyer
Some real estate transactions are fairly straightforward, while others are anything but. In the latter circumstance, a real estate lawyer isn't just nice to have, it's absolutely necessary. If you are a landlord, you may need assistance with drafting a lease or terminating and evicting a tenant. Some examples of situations that we can, and should, help you with are:
- You wish to participate in an 1031 Exchange or Reverse Exchange
- Buying or selling a residential, agricultural, commercial or industrial property
- For Sale by Owner assistance
- Buying or selling a home if you've filed for bankruptcy or had a judgment or lien against you in the past
- Removal of child support or other liens
- Landlord/tenant agreements, terminations, evictions
- Property line and property access issues
- Zoning and conditional use matters
If you have any questions or reservations about a real estate transaction, we encourage you to call our offices in Wahoo, Nebraska and Eagle, Nebraska.
