We Fight for Property Owners’ Rights

Our Montgomery County real estate attorneys are staunch supporters of property rights. We provide representation and help property owners with various property disputes, including:

• Eminent domain matters
• Property boundary disputes
• Land use and zoning issues

Eminent domain law enables a government entity to take or destroy private property for the public interest. However, government agencies must follow specific procedures to condemn the constitutionally protected property rights of Americans properly. Just compensation is a biased assessment of damages to be paid to the owners of the property. If you are in this situation, it is highly advised that you speak with a lawyer experienced in this specific law field before agreeing to a condemner’s biased appraisal of property values.

At Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford P.C., we may service property owners by stopping or redirecting condemnation. If that’s not possible, we may help condemnees receive full and fair compensation, moving expenses, business relocation damages, and more.

Ambiguous boundaries may also create difficulties when property owners attempt to sell their land. These disagreements are widespread in Montgomery County.

Frequently Asked Questions About Real Estate Law

When should you hire a real estate lawyer?

While there’s no legal requirement to be represented by an attorney when buying or selling real estate, having a lawyer review documents and conduct settlements can be a huge advantage during a real estate transaction. Whether you’re buying or selling property, experiencing landlord or tenant issues, or are concerned about protecting your most valuable asset, having a real estate lawyer on your side is fundamental to the success of any real estate law matter. If you decide that hiring a lawyer is best for you, reach out to our firm as soon as possible for a free consultation to discuss your case’s specifics.

What can a real estate attorney do for you?

Real estate attorneys understand and are legally authorized to review and prepare documents and contracts related to the purchase of a home. In some cases, a real estate lawyer is also in charge of your closing. In a home purchase transaction, both the seller and buyer can hire a lawyer to represent them throughout the process. Or, in cases in which an attorney is managing a closing where the home is being purchased with a mortgage loan, the lawyer may actually represent the mortgage lender.

What is real estate law?

Real estate law—sometimes called property law—is an area of law that governs buying, using, and selling land. It also manages how people acquire property and what they can do with the property they own.

If I am purchasing or selling a home, should I hire a real estate attorney to oversee the process?

If you’re going through the home-buying and mortgage processes, you may be wondering if you should hire a real estate attorney. While you aren’t required to pay for a real estate attorney when buying a house, a lawyer can be instrumental in helping represent you during the entire home-buying process. The attorney may also attend the mortgage closing and review the loan documents you sign to take ownership of your home. Hiring a lawyer is ultimately worth the up-front cost in order to help the process operate smoothly.
