Michigan Real Estate Lawyer
Get Legal Advice and Representation When Buying, Selling, or Renting Out Properties
Buying a home or commercial property is often one of the largest financial commitments you will make, and most of the important decisions happen before closing. Our attorneys can review or negotiate your purchase agreement, explain your contingencies and deadlines, and go over the title commitment, survey, and seller disclosures so there are no surprises on closing day. If an inspection turns up problems or the other side misses a deadline, we can advise you on your options before you lose leverage or your earnest money deposit.
If you are renting, a lease deserves the same careful attention. We review commercial leases for landlords and commercial tenants, clarifying rent terms, repair responsibilities, renewal options, and what happens if either side needs to end the agreement early or finds themselves in need of a Michigan commercial lease disputes attorney.
Just as it’s wise to consult a Michigan real estate lawyer when buying a property, it’s equally important to get advice when selling. Our Detroit real estate attorneys can work with you to draft, revise, or review a purchase agreement, thereby ensuring that you are fully aware of and in control of the terms of your sale. As an added bonus, we are prepared to put our Oakland County real estate connections to good use in finding you the best deal.
In Michigan, it’s very common for a homeowner to add a spouse or child to their home’s deed as a way of ensuring the property stays within the family in the event of their passing away. Another common reason for taking this step is to avoid the cost and inconvenience of the probate process.
That being said, there are also a few disadvantages to adding someone to your deed if it is not handled properly, such as creating holes in the chain of title, or complicating a future sale of the property. To determine whether adding to your deed is the right move for you, it’s best to review your goals and options with a lawyer.
We work with both landlords and commercial lease tenants on eviction matters, including commercial lease disputes. If you are a commercial landlord trying to evict an uncooperative commercial property tenant, or if you are a commercial property renter who believes you are being wrongfully evicted by your landlord, please reach out. We want to help you find, expose, and enforce the truth of your commercial landlord-tenant agreement.
Title issues are usually discovered when someone tries to sell their real estate. Few problems can be more frustrating, or seem more daunting, than learning that a problem with your property’s title is preventing a sale. Sometimes a lien is on the property that shouldn’t be there, sometimes a deceased family member’s interest in the property was not properly resolved, and sometimes a quiet title action is required to eliminate a potential claim to the property. Regardless of the nature of the title problem, a Michigan real estate lawyer at Head Murphy Law can help you find the right solution.
