Residential Real Estate Transactions Throughout Massachusetts*
Buyers: Not having representation to handle the biggest purchase of your life could end up being your biggest mistake. Don't risk your deposit by signing the standard form contract provided by your real estate agent. Let us handle your transaction from drafting the offer thru attending the closing. We charge buyers a flat fee for representation.
Sellers: Allow us to negotiate the purchase and sale agreement, resolve title issues, draft the deed, and attend the closing. Signing a standard form purchase and sale agreement is not only a bad idea, but it could leave you vulnerable down the road.
Lenders: We routinely represent lenders, large and small, in real estate closings.
Landlord and Tenant Law
Evictions: Don't go through the eviction process alone. Start the process with a professional and save yourself months of what might end up being unrecoverable rents. We often charge an affordable, flat fee to properly terminate the tenancy and a reasonable hourly fee should court action be necessary.
Leases: Get started on the right foot with documentation that will protect your investment and establish the rental terms in clear, concise language. Residential leases can be tailored to fit your property and used over and over again providing you with exceptional value. Commercial leases are also available and can be customized to fit the needs of your business.
Misc.: We regularly handle matters involving nonpayment of rent, security deposit disputes, last month's rent disputes, and terminations of tenancy due to illegal activities. We also provide landlord consultation to individuals interested in investing in rental properties for the first time or those wanting to streamline and better manage existing rentals.
Wills and Trusts
Ensure that your property passes to who you want. You worked hard to build your estate. Don't let it get it squandered through the probate process, estate taxes and costly attorney's fees. A comprehensive estate plan can protect your loved ones by sheltering your assets from estate taxes and giving you peace of mind.
Typical estate plans include wills, trusts, health care proxies, advanced directives, powers of attorney and homesteads.
