Real Estate Law, Answered
Here’s what to know about property law before you sign, sell, or settle any real estate agreement in Michigan.
Do I need a lawyer to buy or sell a home?
It’s not legally required, but it’s strongly recommended. Realtors handle sales—but only attorneys can offer legal advice, review contracts for risk, and correct issues that could cost you tens of thousands later.
How do you charge for real estate matters?
We provide clear, upfront expectations about cost during your initial consultation. Our approach reflects the complexity of your situation and the scope of legal work required.
What if my property has title or boundary problems?
We can work with title companies, surveyors, and local offices to resolve disputes or quiet title, so your ownership rights are clear and secure.
I’m gifting property to my child. Do I need a lawyer?
Yes. Improper deed language or failure to consider tax consequences can lead to big problems later. We’ll prepare the right document and make sure it’s filed correctly.
Can you help with zoning issues or local permits?
Absolutely. We handle land use and zoning issues throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region and can represent you before local boards if needed.
