Investment & Financing
Our legal counsel supports lenders, borrowers, individuals, and corporate stakeholders across the full spectrum of investment and finance in all real estate asset classes.
Estate Planning
The importance of estate planning cannot be overstated, as it outlines the distribution, management, or division of assets after an individual's death, ensuring the preservation of the deceased's legacy and the well-being of the beneficiaries. Our services cater to high-net-worth individuals, established business owners, and those with complex assets and include:
- Drafting Wills to dictate asset distribution posthumously.

- Reducing estate taxes and managing real estate assets to comply with legal standards.
Asset Protection
Our legal services are designed to safeguard hard-earned wealth from potential creditors, lawsuits, and unforeseen circumstances.
Trust
Formation of a Trust serves as a powerful tool for managing real estate, ensuring protection for minors, spouses, and businesses. Our team addresses many client needs, including advanced tax planning and asset protection for heirs. Legal counsel here encompasses trust administration and the final distribution of assets to beneficiaries.
Wills and Probate
The loss of a loved one is a difficult time, and handling their will (or the lack of one) can lead to legal issues, inheritance disputes, probate complications, and even tax burdens. Our comprehensive legal services include drafting wills, naming executors, filing important documents, and creating trusts. They also encompass estate management and navigating inheritance litigation, thereby securing the family’s future and business interests and protecting a legacy.
Title Investigation and Legal Opinion of Property Documents
A real estate title represents a collection of rights to a specific piece of land. A title prevents future legal disputes by examining public records, including tax documents, liens, judgments, and property deeds. We offer services that verify the seller's ownership (marketable title), including surveys for accurate boundaries, zoning verification, improvement checks, and assessment of past inspection records.
Contracts & Conveyance
The real estate transaction process begins with an in-depth title search to verify the seller's legal ownership and ensure a marketable title. Following the acceptance of a purchase offer, our firm supports clients by crafting the sale contract and specifying the sale's terms, pricing, and title information. This contract sets the stage for the legal mechanism of conveyance, enabling a structured and secure transfer of ownership from the seller to the buyer, culminating in the official passing of the legal title upon completion. Our expertise ensures that every property transfer step is executed with legal precision and care.
Litigation and Enforcement
When property disputes whether commercial or residential—involve misuse schemes or development disputes, we prioritize resolution and risk mitigation, resorting to litigation only as a last measure. Our expertise encompasses a range of issues, including landlord-tenant disputes such as rent arrears, forfeiture, lease renewals, insolvency, and negligence claims. Additionally, we address commercial property concerns, including activity restraints, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, and lease renewal negotiations. We are committed to providing strategic legal solutions to efficiently manage and resolve property disputes, safeguarding our clients' interests professionally.
Legal guidance is provided for the sale/purchase/registration of property
We ensure smooth and secure real estate purchases and sales, adeptly navigating the complexities of transactions, multi-state legalities, property history verifications, financial obligations, and requisite government approvals. Our comprehensive approach to real estate law encompasses all facets of the buying and selling process, offering our clients peace of mind and legal expertise that spans the full spectrum of property-related concerns.
