Southwest Louisiana
Commercial and Residential Real Estate Attorney
The stakes are always high in real estate. Most people who buy a home are making the biggest investment of their lives. At the law office of Michael Garber, we provide the legal means to ensure your transaction proceeds smoothly. If you buy, sell, or own real estate, contact Michael Garber, to find out more about how we can assist your legal needs.
Real Estate Transactions
If you are buying, leasing, or selling real estate, you want the transaction to complete with no surprises. You want to close on the date you have chosen, with the terms you have agreed upon. We provide advice and deal with difficulties from the initial offer to the final closing. We draft, review, and negotiate real estate contracts, including:
- Purchase agreements
- Commercial property leases
- Closing documents
- Oil leases
- Deeds
We also conduct property title searches. Before you buy a piece of property, you need to hire someone to perform a title examination. If you make sure the property title is clear, you can save yourself from any unexpected issues.
Real Estate Disputes
When a person owns land, many issues may develop around that ownership. A neighbor may cut down a tree that, in fact, is on your property, mistakenly believes that it was on their property. You could need access to a public road, but find out your property is surrounded on all sides by other people's property. A dispute may develop between your business and the landlord over the type of business or the hours of operation permitted by the lease. We represent people with many types of real estate disputes, including:
- Lease disputes
- Breach of contract
- Property damage
- Easement negotiations
- Trespassing
- Quiet title actions
- Boundary disputes
