In this article we will explore real estate law, its importance, and why it is in your best interest to have a real estate attorney in your corner. 

What is Real Estate Law? 

Real estate law is categorized as a branch of civil law that involves the laws, rules, and regulations of who can possess and use land and its permanent man-made attachments. Real estate law varies considerably from state to state. The state regulates the purchase and sale of property as well as renting or leasing a residential or commercial property. Additionally, development and construction projects are also subject to real estate laws such as zoning and environmental laws.

Why is Real Estate Law Important? 

The Protection of Property Rights 

Real estate attorneys help protect clients' legal rights as property owners.

The attorneys, who are knowledgeable on the intricacies of the law, will be looking out for your best interest in ensuring your rights are protected in every step of any real estate transaction or litigation.

Navigating Complex Transactions and Regulations

The world of real estate involves complex transactions. Real estate law establishes the legal requirements for transactions, if these requirements and procedures are not adhered to, the transaction will not be legally valid or enforceable. Even though many states do not require a real estate attorney by law, it can become difficult for a client to undergo the process on their own, which is why having a real estate attorney will give you peace of mind that everything is done correctly and in accordance with the law. 

Zoning and Land Use

As mentioned above, real estate laws vary from state to state and these laws regulate zoning and use of land which determine how properties can be used and developed. For example, zoning laws determine how a property can be used but also regulate things such as building height for residential, commercial or industrial properties. On the other hand, regulations regarding land use establish rules and regulations on how property can be developed which includes environmental regulations and construction permits.

Litigation and Dispute Resolution 

Real estate litigation involves a dispute between sellers, butters, landlords, tenants, and other parties involved in the ownership or use of properties, both residential and commercial. These processes are both complex and contentious and can arise from things such as breach of contract, failures to disclose defects in the property, zoning and land use, among others. This is where a team of seasoned attorneys comes into play, helping you resolve the dispute in a way that protects you and your interests. The law provides frameworks for resolving the disputes including alternative dispute resolution methods such as arbitration and mediation.

Construction and Development  

Another important facet of real estate law is construction and development laws. This includes construction permits, contracts, inspections, liability and insurance, and other legal issues related to building or renovating a property.
