Frequently Asked Questions About Real Estate Law

A closing is the final step in a real estate transaction where ownership officially transfers from seller to buyer. During this meeting, all necessary documents are signed, including the deed, mortgage documents, and various disclosures. Final payments are exchanged, including the purchase price (minus the deposit), closing costs, and adjustments for taxes and utilities. Our attorneys guide you through this process, review all documents beforehand, and attend the closing to address any last-minute concerns.

Connecticut law requires attorney involvement in real estate transactions, but beyond legal requirements, an experienced real estate attorney provides crucial protections. We conduct thorough title searches to ensure clear ownership, review contracts to identify unfavorable terms, navigate zoning and land use regulations, structure transactions for tax advantages, and resolve issues that could delay or derail your closing. Our professional oversight helps prevent costly problems both during the transaction and for years afterward.

Establishing an LLC for real estate ownership involves filing formation documents with the state, creating an operating agreement, obtaining tax identification numbers, and establishing proper accounting procedures. This structure helps separate personal assets from business liabilities, provides tax flexibility, and can facilitate property management and ownership transitions. Our team guides you through each step, ensuring your LLC is properly structured to achieve your specific goals and provide maximum protection.
