The work that a real estate attorney does for buyers starts much earlier than the closing. Taking on a mortgage and buying a house can be extremely overwhelming.

State laws are very specific about what can and can't be in a will, trust, or medical or financial power of attorney; who can and can't serve as a personal representative, trustee, health care surrogate or attorney in fact; who can and can't be a witness to a will, trust, or medical or financial power of attorney; and what formalities must be observed when signing a will, trust, or medical or financial power of attorney.

Buying a home will probably be the largest and most significant purchase you will make in your life. It also involves the law of real property, which is unique and raises special issues of practice, and problems not present in other transactions. A real estate lawyer is trained to deal with these problems and has the most experience to deal with them. Call us if you are planning or buying or selling a home.
