REAL ESTATE LAW & COMMERCIAL PROPERTY

What Is Real Estate Law?

Real estate law governs the sale, purchase, and lease of residential property and commercial property. It is the law that governs how people acquire and use real property, including property fixtures which are permanently attached to land or a necessary part of any real property structure (e.g., lighting, HVAC, plumbing, etc.). Many laws effect the sale and transfer of land, such as land titles, purchase deeds, deeds of trust, loans, zoning, and taxes. 

Our real estate attorneys can advise you on a wide range of legal matters including land purchases, home purchases, deeds of trust, land purchase agreements, and other commercial transactions involving land. We also perform real estate litigation, commercial litigation, lawsuits for specific performance, and breach of real estate contracts. When you work with our firm, you can rest assured you will receive direct legal counsel from a well-versed lawyer in business, corporate and commercial law. Among other things, our real estate lawyers can help you in the following real estate legal concerns:

• Residential Property Closings;

• Commercial Property Closings;

• HUD-1 Reviews;

• Purchase Agreements;

If hired, a real estate attorney will attend the closing with the buyer and/or seller to ensure a smooth closing. A closing occurs when title documents are signed and money is paid and the title is transferred from the seller to the buyer. Our Dallas real estate attorneys are there not only to review real estate documents but to oversee the legal and binding transfer of real property. At Wilson Legal Group, our Dallas real estate lawyers utilize a team-based approach that benefits from having access to multiple attorneys with substantive years of experience in many practice areas. Whatever your real estate needs may be, our property attorneys have the talent, resources and expertise to meet them in an efficient, timely, and cost-effective manner.

How To Avoid Fraud When Buying Real Property?

Without due diligence, one of the most devastating frauds that can occur to a property purchase is title fraud. Title fraud occurs when a seller poses an owner, produced forged documents which have often been filed with the city or county, and sells the property to the unsuspecting buyer under false pretenses. This type-fraudster will fraudulently sell title, take the closing proceeds, and often cannot be found after the sale given he or she used false identification (e.g., a fake drivers license, fake passport, or other false identification documents). Once the fraud is discovered, it is often difficult to find the fraudster. Our Dallas real estate lawyers can assist you in managing any real estate transaction and help you avoid fraud.
