Real Estate Transfers, Deeds & Leases

Real Estate Transfers

Whether you are buying or selling a home, adding or removing a spouse upon marriage or divorce, refinancing your mortgage, or dealing with the death of a spouse or property owner, a real estate deed is required. In other words, anytime you wish to add or remove a person's name from your property's title, you must obtain or grant a real estate deed. Even seemingly simple real estate transactions require legal attention due to the complexity of property rights being transferred, the sum of money being exchanged, taxes being avoided, and various other government regulations.

For these reasons, we are committed to helping you obtain the correct documents needed in order to transfer or change property titles of your home or real estate as quickly as possible.

Commercial Real Estate Leases

Leases are structured for our clients, which include owners, landlords, small property owners, tenants, small business owners, retailers, and restaurant owners, to protect their immediate and long-term interests in the property they own or possess. The legal staff at the Law Office of Matthew D. O'Conner are dedicated to their client base and advocate zealously for clients' rights to develop and enforce leases.

A lease for commercial property must comprehensively and accurately represent the terms of the deal negotiated. A properly executed lease will fully protect the client in the event of problems or disputes. If you are entering into a leasing agreement, you need the type of experience we provide at Law Office of Matthew D. O'Conner. From preparing, drafting, and negotiating leases, whether related to an office, store, cafe or other facility, we will ensure that your best interests are served.

We take a proactive approach in developing office and retail leases to minimize or avoid problems in the future. Our knowledge of real estate law allows us to foresee potential problems inhering in the entire document or confined to a specific clause in the lease. Our vast experience with leasing documentation allows us to readily see pitfalls that will only make matters challenging in the future.

No matter how detailed a lease is or how thoroughly it was developed and reviewed, disputes can arise. Whether our real estate attorneys or a peer lawyer drafted the lease, we will carefully review every word to see where a contested problem arose or a violation occurred. From there, we will advocate for you in negotiation or litigation in the manner that best safeguards your legal interests and promotes your rights.

The central objective at our firm is to do things right and efficiently for our clients the first time. For more information or to schedule an appointment with an experienced real estate lawyer regarding a dispute over a commercial lease, please contact us.
