Why Do I Need to Hire a Real Estate Attorney When Purchasing Property?
Buying real estate is a complex process. Several federal, state, or local laws might affect your purchase. When the real estate in question is part of a short sale or a foreclosure, or the title to the land is contested, the process becomes even more complicated.
Your attorney can assist and protect your rights by:
- Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents in accordance with Connecticut’s real estate laws and regulations
- Reviewing the terms of your mortgage so that you are clear on your obligations and ensure that rates and fees match those that were explained to you in the process of obtaining financing
- Researching the title to the property to ensure there are no existing liens or mortgages that might impede your title for the property
- Attending the closing with you to review the paperwork and ensure all your questions are answered while you sign legal documents
Real estate transactions can be overly complex, and having an attorney on your side could save you precious time and money. The best way to protect your financial investment is to hire an experienced real estate attorney who helps you navigate the legal process.
Can a Seller Back Out of a Real Estate Contract?
One of the most common fears of buyers is that a seller will decide at the last moment to back out of a real estate contract. One of the most common reasons that a seller may try to back out is because they have received a higher offer from another buyer.
In Connecticut, a seller may only back out of a real estate contract if two circumstances apply:
- The buyer does not meet the contingencies or conditions outlined in the contract.
- The buyer breaches the contract. One common example of a buyer breaching a contract is when they do not secure financing within the agreed-upon timeframe
If a seller tries to back out of a contract without meeting the specified legal criteria, a buyer has several legal options, including suing the seller for breach of contract or requesting that the sale continue.
Because of the legal complexities involved with property transactions, hiring a real estate attorney who will act as your legal advocate is always best. Unfortunately, many legal issues between a buyer and seller could delay the transaction or cause you to lose all or some of your investment.
Before you sign any contract to purchase real estate, contact Klein & Babbitt, LLC so that we may review the documents to ensure they meet all legal requirements.
