Legal Concerns

Selecting a lawyer can be a frustrating task if you don’t already have one you know and trust. If this is the case, Tim knows many reputable lawyers in the area. Your lawyer will take care of all necessary legal procedures to implement your agreement of purchase and sale. The lawyer will conduct a title search and prepare all necessary documentation, such as deeds, charges, discharges, registrations, ect. They complete the closing. Their function is to make sure that all the terms of your agreement are met. If a problem should arise, your lawyer will represent you.
