How to Hire an Attorney
In some areas Attorneys are not
ordinarily involved in real estate closings. In other areas, they absolutely
need to be involved. If the cost is reasonable, hire one even if the situation
seams simple.
It is advisable not to sign to
sign a contract without consulting an attorney. Real property can involve
complicated legal concepts, some of which date back to frauds.
If you feel that
the situation is simple and you can not
afford to pay standard rates, most attorney will negotiate their fees.
However if the situation turns
complicated a higher fee may a rise, you should not complain but instead you
should call your self lucky, because you will have a voided problems not
otherwise foreseen
But how can you get a good
attorney if you don not know any one you can trust?
I can advise you that you
call any bar association, as they usually have referrals services But do not ask your mortgage broker
to refer to an attorney, because there can be a built-in conflict of interest
if the sale deserves to be aborted. The lawyer might be reluctant tore commend
terminating the deal since the person who recommended him
or her will definitely loose the commission.
Its is better if you get an
independent recommendation for a lawyer who practices primarily in the area of
real estate and some one with a good reputation in the eyes of people you know
and trust.
