Common questions

What is a real estate lawyer?

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.

When should I contact a real estate attorney?

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.

What is the main purpose of real estate law?

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

What is the most common type of complaint?

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.

How much does a lawyer usually cost?

Hiring lawyers the usual way can cost hundreds per hour. But with LegalShield you pay a small fee (starting at $26.95/month when billed annually) and get access to experienced lawyers who can help with any number of real estate issues.

How long do I have to wait before I talk to a lawyer?

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