What is an attorney's role in a real estate sale?

Wealth Strategies Counsel

If you're selling real property, you should have a lawyer advise you because the buyer is entitled to a complete disclosure from you, with respect to the property. And if you don't provide those proper disclosures, the buyer can come back and sue you for misrepresentation, fraud, and failure to disclose. You need a lawyer to properly word and structure the disclosures, so that you're completely protected. If possible, it's good to have an as-if clause added in the contract. I'm Jeff Matsen and I'm the founding and managing partner of Wealth Strategies Counsel. We help people preserve, protect, and transfer their legacy to the next generation, in the most cost saving and efficient manner possible.

What should real estate buyers be the most aware of?

Wealth Strategies Counsel

If you're the buyer of legal property, some of the major legal concerns you should have deal with the representations and disclosures made to you by the seller. You also need to make sure that the title policy is in effect, and that if there are zoning or other requirements, that you are aware of those zonings and they fit into what your development or purchase plans are.
