Common Real Estate Legal Services
Promissory Notes
A promissory note is a written promise to pay a specific sum of money under agreed terms. These notes are commonly used in real estate financing and sales. We draft, review, and enforce promissory notes to protect your interests and ensure clear payment terms.
Deed Upon Death
A deed upon death (also called a beneficiary deed) allows property owners to transfer real estate directly to a beneficiary upon their death, avoiding probate. We help clients prepare and file these deeds to ensure a smooth transfer of property to heirs.
Deeds
Deeds are legal documents that transfer ownership of real property. Types include warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, and special purpose deeds. We assist in drafting, reviewing, and recording deeds to ensure proper title transfer and protect your ownership rights.
Real Estate Contracts
Real estate contracts outline the terms of buying or selling property. These agreements cover price, contingencies, closing dates, and other critical details. We negotiate, draft, and review contracts to help clients avoid disputes and secure favorable terms.
Contract for Deed
A contract for deed is an alternative financing arrangement where the buyer makes payments directly to the seller until the full purchase price is paid, at which point the deed transfers. We advise clients on contract terms and ensure compliance with Texas law to protect buyers and sellers.
