Experienced Real Estate Legal Advice

If you need experienced legal advice on real estate matters, we are here to help.

There are rules and regulations when dealing with Real Estate matters. As a landlord, you have the right to rent your property to someone at the price you set. As a tenant, you have rights as well. A Lease Agreement is a legal document, signed by both the Landlord & Tenant. If this Lease Agreement is broken by the tenant, the landlord has the right to evict the tenant. If the landlord breaks the Lease Agreement, the tenant has legal rights that are in place to protect them. At Peterson & Peterson, we are experienced in Landlord & Tenant rights and are here to help.

When it comes to purchasing real estate, there are many factors to take into consideration. It’s important to have an attorney review or draw up the appropriate legal documents. There are Land Contracts used to purchase acreage, vacant land, homes, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, condominiums, or other property. There are Real Estate Purchase Agreements that are legally binding agreements that govern the purchase and sale of a property. When purchasing property, unless you are paying for the property in cash, a Mortgage is required. A mortgage is an agreement between you and a lender that gives the lender the right to take your property if you fail to repay the money you've borrowed plus interest. When purchasing real estate, a document called a Deed is used to legally transfer interests in real estate. Sometimes there are Title Disputes which is a defect in a title. Defects to title can include easements, liens, restrictive covenants/uses, or mineral rights. When these defects exist, litigation often ensues to determine who holds title to the land. You need an experienced law firm that knows how to handle these types of disputes. Call Peterson & Peterson today!
