Regardless of whether you are buying, selling, or leasing land, any transaction involving real estate includes a significant investment and can drastically impact your financial position. To protect your investment, realize the financial benefits, and avoid the countless issues and pitfalls that can arise in a real estate transaction, it is important to have legal representation throughout the entire process. Buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants need technical advice about their rights and responsibilities.

Each state also has specific laws and rules regarding real estate transactions. The differences can lead to drastically different results in different jurisdictions. While there are many legal forms online or available through other sources, each property and transaction is different. What worked in one situation may not work in another. In addition, stock forms may cause unintended effects years later. It is more cost effective to consult with an attorney early and prevent a mistake rather than fixing it later. As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
