Frequently Asked Questions About Real Estate Legal Services
Here’s what families like yours often ask.
Why do I need a lawyer to prepare a deed?
Deeds must be worded carefully to ensure your intentions are legally effective. Small mistakes in the language can lead to big problems later — including probate issues or title disputes.
What is a land contract?
A land contract is a private agreement where the buyer makes payments to the seller over time instead of getting a mortgage. The seller retains legal title until the buyer pays in full.
Do I need a lawyer to sell my home without a realtor?
If you are selling your home privately (FSBO), having a lawyer ensures your purchase agreement protects your rights and complies with Michigan law.
What’s the difference between a quitclaim deed and a warranty deed?
A quitclaim deed transfers whatever ownership interest you have without any guarantees. A warranty deed guarantees that you have clear title to transfer. Julie will help you choose the right option.
Can a deed help avoid probate?
Yes, in many cases. Using tools like a ladybird deed can transfer property automatically upon death, avoiding the need for probate court.
