Buying a home is a major purchase, and there is much that can go wrong when you close the deal. The title to the home may not be clear, or the language used in the contract is weighted heavily in the favor of the seller. The latter may not seem like a major issue, but it can become one when it affects your ability to own the home without encumbrances. Having a Real Estate Lawyer in Irvine CA working on your purchase help you avoid a bad deal.
The title to a home is the most important part of the deal. Even though the title will be held by the bank while you pay it off, it is still imperative that it be clear of any prior claims. You don’t want to go through the trouble of buying the home only to find that someone else has a prior claim to it. For example: this can happen because the prior owner passed without named heirs and the executor was unable to locate anyone before selling the home. An heir can pop up while the home is being sold, or has been sold, and lay claim to the property. A Real Estate Lawyer in Irvine CA can help untangle the title, or back you out of the purchase altogether.
Another issue that can arise is the seller putting in clauses or restrictions that prevent you from doing as you please with the home, If you didn’t discuss this prior to the purchase, the seller is putting an unreasonable demand on you. Here, a Real Estate Lawyer at The Law Offices of Neil J. Cacali in Irvine CA can go to the seller and work on negotiating the removal of the unfair language or canceling the contract altogether.
