REAL ESTATE LAW

Binder Law Group knows that the attorney that you choose to represent you for the negotiation of the purchase of your home is one of the most important decisions you will make in the Home Buying Process. While your real estate salesperson or broker will work with you to make a decision on which home may satisfy your particular needs, your attorney is the only party who will be working solely for your benefit during the Home Buying Process.

In representing a prospective Purchaser, an attorney performs the following functions:

 a. Reviews and negotiates the Contract of Sale;
 b. Oversees the process of your home purchase, complying with the      terms and conditions of the contract;
 c. Reviews the Abstract of Title;
 d. Coordinates the closing of title and the mortgage loan with your      lender.

In theory, an attorney should be retained BEFORE an offer is made to purchase a home. As a practical matter though, most purchasers looking at homes are concerned with the non-legal aspects of selecting a home, such as location, size, type and amenities, and defer the selection of an attorney until after a home is selected and a basic agreement is reached on the price and other general terms.

TRUST AND ESTATES

The law of trusts and estates is generally considered the body of law which governs the management of personal affairs and the disposition of property of an individual in anticipation of the event of such person's incapacity or death, also known as the law of successions in civil law.

Trusts and Estates is a rapidly growing area of practice in the law that includes estate planning, managing your estate during life and disposing of your estate at your death through the use of trusts, wills and other planning documents.

Binder Law Group lawyers regularly handle matters in the areas of concern in your particular situation, and will know enough about the other fields to question whether the action being taken might be affected by laws in other areas of law. For example, if you’re going to rewrite your will and your spouse is ill, the estate planner needs to know enough about Medicaid to advise you about whether it’s an issue with regard to your spouse's inheritance.

Unfortunately, there are some attorneys who hold themselves out as experts in trusts and estates, but who have little or no experience in this area of practice. They recognize that the aging of America represents a business opportunity for them and they hope to “cash in.” So you’ll want to be particularly careful in narrowing down your selection of a trust and estate planning attorney.

If you don't already have a list of prospective lawyers, a great place to start your search is right here.
