Our Real Estate Practice
Decisions involving the sale and purchase of real estate often are among the
most important decisions a person can make regarding their personal or business
matters. Questions of ownership, business succession, estate planning, and tax
consequences frequently arise in real estate transactions. It is important to
consider all consequences of a real estate sale or purchase to avoid unforeseen
or unpleasant results. There can be tax implications regarding capital gains and
gift and estate taxes depending upon how property is transferred. Likewise, the
form of ownership of real estate raises issues of control and survivorship that
an owner should consider prior to any conveyance of real estate.
Quinlivan & Hughes provides a variety of services regarding real estate
transactions, particularly in conjunction with its Business, Commercial and
Trusts and Estates practice areas. Typical transactions include the review and
preparation of such documents as purchase agreements, closing documents, option
agreements, and leases. Court proceedings such as quiet title actions, Torrens
registration proceedings, and unlawful detainer actions arise in the firm's real
estate practice. The firm's experience in business law and trusts and estates
often interrelate with real estate matters. For instance, the sale of a business
or family farm often involves the sale of real estate. Estate planning often
considers provisions to transfer real estate to family members of an appropriate
trust.
The Quinlivan & Hughes firm's long experience in these areas of law will
assist a person or business faced with decisions that may have long-term and
far-reaching implications. The Quinlivan & Hughes firm has a number of
attorneys who practice in the real estate, commercial and business, and trusts
and estates areas of law.
