LEGAL SERVICES
“The major fortunes in America have been made in land.”
John D. Rockefeller
There are many legal aspects associated with the purchase and sale of a home that will affect the transaction and the ownership experience. The Purchase Agreement has many terms which must be fully understood including, but not limited to, specific terms, unusual requests, liquidated damages provisions, mediation and arbitration clauses, and other terms with legal significance. Moreover, seemingly simple processes such as what constitutes acceptance of an offer or a counteroffer may have significant legal consequences if not properly understood when signed.
For sellers, California imposes obligations on sellers to disclose material facts and disclosure forms should be carefully completed as they may be important should a dispute arise.
The manner of holding title may have significant legal consequences, especially if a property is purchased by more than one buyer and the buyers are married. Future tax consequences must also be considered, especially for married couples and every homeowner should consider whether a Trust is appropriate.
Each point mentioned may have legal consequences and only a licensed attorney may legally advise you on these matters.
Mark, as a licensed attorney with experience in real estate, may legally provide advice on each of the legal issues as part of the agent services.
