New Jersey Real Estate Lawyers

Protect Your Investment and Your Rights

Buying or selling a home represents probably the most significant investment you will ever make. Taking steps to ensure you’re not exposed to financial and legal liabilities is essential before signing on the dotted line. Most real estate purchase contracts are drafted by real estate brokers. Once signed by both the buyer and seller, there is a three-business-day attorney review period. It is during this time that any revisions required by either party are made. If no changes are made, then the contract becomes binding after the three-day period.

Our real estate lawyers review the contract, negotiate inspection issues, conduct title searches, review title and survey and prepare final documents. Finally, we represent you at the closing to ensure that all bank documents are properly executed and that the title to the property is properly transferred to you. We take care of recording your new deed and mortgage, and send notifications to the local tax office and municipal authorities to advise them of your new ownership.

When commercial property is involved, we advise you on corporate formation options that can impact tax requirements placed on businesses. We also review the contract, conduct title searches, review title, contact the state’s tax office for tax clearance, and conduct the final closing.

Regardless of whether you’re purchasing a home or storefront restaurant, we will identify vulnerabilities and risks that could jeopardize your investment or burden you with additional financial and legal responsibilities. For more information, contact us. With offices in Jersey City and East Brunswick, we are here to serve all of New Jersey and New York.
