REAL ESTATE LAW

Real estate law governs the ownership, use, and transfer of land and permanent structures, encompassing residential and commercial transactions, leasing, and property disputes. We help protect your rights regarding property, including deeds, titles, and mortgages.  We often facilitate closings, help negotiate contracts, and resolve conflicts like liens or boundary issues.        *We do not handle zoning issues, but can refer you. 

Customary for real estate transfers between family members, for-sale-by-owners, etc.  

A quitclaim deed is a legal document that transfers any interest a person (grantor) has in a property to another (grantee) without making any guarantees or warranties about the title's validity. 

A warranty deed is a legal document used in real estate to transfer property ownership while guaranteeing the title is clear of undisclosed liens, encumbrances, or defects, offering the highest buyer protection. 

 You can name a beneficiary on your house, which may help you avoid the probate process.

An Indiana Transfer on Death (TOD) Deed allows real estate owners to transfer property directly to beneficiaries upon death, avoiding probate. The owner retains full control, including the right to sell or revoke the deed during their lifetime. The deed must be signed, notarized, and recorded in the county where the property is located before the owner's death. 

For transactions without a realtor, but when you still need guidance and direction regarding the sale paperwork.

For non-realtor, For Sale By Owner (FSBO) transactions, you can secure legal and paperwork guidance by hiring HARRELL LAW LLC as your real estate attorney and/or escrow agent.  Real estate property tax information for your Indiana county can most likely be found online with LowTaxInfo.
