Oregon Real Estate Law

Miller & Hopp Attorneys at Law has the experience to handle every aspect of commercial and residential real estate matters.

In present-day times, real estate law has become very complicated. It covers issues beyond simple possessions of land and structures. To further add to the complexity, the laws in each city and state are not consistent, nor are the regulations which govern problems such as landlord-tenant relationships and zoning.

At Miller & Hopp Attorneys at Law, we provide comprehensive real estate services. Our real estate clients include investors, businesses, developers, homeowners, mortgage brokers, and lenders.

Our team has the expertise and industry connections to resolve legal issues and handle every step in your residential transaction. This includes negotiating the price and other terms, drafting or reviewing the purchase contract, reviewing the title and title insurance, and any other service you may need to close your transaction.

With our experience in real estate law, we can skillfully prepare and review commercial contracts for the sale, purchase, building and development, or exchange of your property.

What is Real Estate Law?

Real estate law includes the purchase and sale of real property, meaning the land and any structure on that land. Also, it covers legal issues related to anything that is attached to the property or structures. The practice of real estate law encompasses a varied and often highly complex set of activities centering on:

Sales and acquisitions
Land use laws
Landlord and tenant law
Foreclosure
Construction
Title
Development
Environmental
Finance
Leasing
Joint ventures
Litigation
Mineral rights, oil rights and right to procure
Right to air space over the property

At Miller & Hopp Attorneys at Law, our real estate attorneys regularly handle cases with one or more of the above components. We are completely current on all laws and regulations that affect these specific issues.

Real Estate Attorney’s Responsibilities

Our job is to prepare and review documents relating to real estate, such as mortgage documents, purchase agreements, transfer documents, and title documents. We are hired to handle a transaction and attend the closing with the buyer. We will ensure that the transfer is legal, binding, and in the best interest of our client.

Our real estate lawyers and staff might prepare documents, complete title searches on the property, write title insurance policies, and handle the transfer of funds for the purchase. In the case of a dispute over the real estate, such as lot line issues, the chain of title, or other matters involving the contracts, we will resolve the problem.
