LegalShield helped me draft a letter and recover funds in a difficult case where I paid for a service that I never received. Without the help of LegalShield the money would have been lost (500$+).

Frequently Asked Questions

A lawyer can review the purchase agreement before you sign, explaincontingencies and earnest money terms, review mortgage documents(Advanced/Premium plans) and answer unlimited questions.

A lawyer can review the listing agreement and purchase offer, advice on disclosure obligations, and answer questions if a buyer disputes terms or backs out.

‍

Earnest money is the deposit a buyer puts down, typically held in an escrow account, not by the seller. Your law firm reviews the contingency terms that say when you get it back and contacts the other party if the desposit is wrongly withheld.

A title search checks public records for liens, easements, and competing ownership claims before you buy. A lawyer advises you on title questions and includes up to one hour of legal research.

Advanced and Premium plans include residential loan document review for your primary residence, once per membership year. Basic plan members get this at a 15% discount off the firm's hourly rate.

No, attendance at closing is excluded from the loan document benefit. Your law firm reviews the documents before closing so you can sign with confidence.

A real estate lawyer is a licensed legal professional who specializes in property transactions, helping clients with buying, selling, leasing, and resolving disputes related to real estate.

It’s a good idea to get legal advice on any real estate legal transaction to ensure that your rights are protected. A real estate lawyer can help review real estate transactions to make sure they’re legally compliant, review contracts, and protect your rights. They can help with title searches, agreements, and give advice for buying, selling, or leasing property, and more.

It’s to regulate the ownership, use, and transfer of property to ensure legal clarity and protect the rights of all parties involved.

The most common complaints are disputes over contracts, especially issues with purchase agreements, disclosures, or breaches. These often include buyers or sellers backing out, misrepresenting property conditions, or failing to meet agreed-upon terms.

Traditionally, lawyers who help with real estate matters bill by the hour, but with LegalShield, plans start at $39.95/month with no hourly fees for covered services, so it's much more affordable.

Membership applications are reviewed within 72 hours. Once approved, you can contact your lawyer and use all the perks of your membership.
