Deed Preparation and Recording
Our office has the ability to assist you with the preparation, execution, and recording of all deeds, death certificates, and land contract documents.

Land Contracts and Lease Agreements
A land contract is a real estate financing arrangement where the buyer pays the seller directly over time until full payment is made, gaining equitable title along the way. On the other hand, a lease agreement is a contract that grants a tenant the right to use and occupy a property for a specified period in exchange for rent, with no transfer of ownership involved.

Real Estate Litigation
Sometimes due to error or fraud, multiple parties have ownership in the same real property which requires a quiet title lawsuit. Alternatively, a property owner may need to initiate a partition action to sell jointly owned property. Our office has the experience to keep you protected during those legal processes.
