ESTATE PLanning

Process of gifting property or decision-making power to another in the inevitable event of death or in the unfortunately likely event of incapacity. The process is controlled by the local rules of a jurisdiction where the property is located, or the testator is domiciled.

REAL PROPERTY

Real property law is the area of law that governs ownership of land or the right of possession of land to the exclusion of others. An action to quiet title is a lawsuit brought in a court having jurisdiction over property disputes, in order to establish a party's title to real property, or personal property having a title, of against anyone and everyone, and thus "quiet" any challenges or claims to the title. Some of the typical transactions this office handles are the drafting of title opinions, transfer deeds of all varieties, and landlord-tenant disputes.
