Why You Need A Lawyer

Buying or selling a home is a complex transaction that involves rules and procedures to satisfy lenders of mortgages and to secure and protect all parties in the transaction.

Take for example, a bank that has a mortgage out on a property and before that property can have its title transferred to another party, the bank needs to be repaid the value of the mortgage.

Can you imagine the risk that a bank would assume if you got cash from the sale of your home and the money didn’t go directly to them?

Or what if the home inspection brings issues to the surface that corrode the deal. How can you be sure that your down payment would be returned?

There are also problems that can arise that both jeopardize the deal and put you at risk for breach of contract and other civil claims.
