Are you in the process of a real estate transaction and need an attorney? Bernstein & Bernstein has an outstanding team of real estate lawyers and staff in Columbia, SC, who will help you. Depending on if you’re the buyer, seller, or lender, the real estate lawyer’s exact duties will vary, but you can always trust that they’ll do their best to make your process go as smoothly as possible.
Real estate transactions are governed by federal, state and local statutes, regulations and ordinances, as well common law. Real estate law encompasses these statutes and regulations, as well as property law matters and anything attached to the property or structures, such as appliances and fixtures.
Real estate laws vary by state and local government. Real estate attorneys must be licensed to practice in the state where the transaction occurs and must keep themselves educated and aware of any state or local developments that could impact a property transaction.
Many states, including South Carolina, require a real estate attorney to be present at closing, but even if your state doesn’t require one, it’s still a good idea to have a real estate attorney on your side. A real estate attorney will represent your interests at closing, review all the paperwork in advance, and advise on any problems or omissions with the documentation.
