HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU NEED
A REAL ESTATE LAWYER?
Many times the mere fact that
you are asking the question indicates that you probably need an attorney.
However, that is not always true.
The following are some sensible suggestions:
Signing Real Estate Purchase, Sale or Lease Documents
If you are being asked to sign a document for the purchase, sale or lease of real property you may be entering into one of the most important agreements of your life. Unless you really understand ALL of the terms in the documents you should obtain professional legal assistance.
Disputes Regarding Boundary Lines, Easements and Quiet Title Actions
In Amador and Calaveras County requests for agreement, disputes regarding boundary lines or easements and Quiet Title actions are an everyday occurrence. Many times neighbors will ask a property owner to agree to a boundary line adjustment or to grant or modify an easement. Even though you may be on friendly terms with your neighbor today, what if the neighbor sells the property? What if you want to sell your property, how will your actions today impact such a sale? The simple answer to these questions is that making boundary line adjustments, granting or rebutting easements and Quiet Title Actions are all real estate matters that require competent legal assistance.
Evictions
If there is one word that strikes fear into a landlord it is the word eviction. While it is possible for a landlord (but not if it is a corporation) to handle an eviction without legal assistance. However, the intricacies of the process can easily result in the tenant having an extended right to remain on the premises. Likewise such things as property left behind can be a minefield for the uninformed. Get legal assistance!
