Contract Review and Negotiation

The contract of sale is a critical document that outlines all the terms of the transaction. Cona Elder Law’s experienced attorneys can thoroughly review the contract to ensure that there are no hidden pitfalls or unfavorable terms. We also negotiate on your behalf, making sure that your rights are safeguarded and that the deal reflects your best interests. 

Title Search and Issues

A key aspect of purchasing a property is ensuring that the title is clear of any legal issues, such as liens or disputes. Cona Elder Law’s attorneys will oversee a detailed title search, identifying any potential problems before they become costly complications. If any issues arise, we work to resolve them quickly.

Understanding Local Laws and Regulations

Real estate laws vary by state and locality. An attorney should be well-versed in the specific regulations and requirements of your area, ensuring that you comply with all legal standards and avoid costly mistakes. Cona Elder Law has those attorneys. We will help explain complex terms and concepts, making sure you fully understand the legal aspects of your purchase, and the quirky industry standards that surround New York Real Estate Transactions.

Handling Disputes and Problems

From minor disagreements with the seller to more serious issues like contract breaches or title defects, our real estate attorneys can mediate and resolve disputes efficiently. Our expertise allows us to manage legal complexities and prevent delays or even litigation.

Closing and Documentation

Real estate transactions involve a mountain of paperwork, from disclosures and inspection reports to closing documents. Cona Elder Law attorneys ensure that all documents are properly prepared, executed, and filed. We attend the closing to ensure everything goes according to plan and that no last-minute surprises arise.

Our team also helps resolve issues that may arise, such as disputes over repairs, title defects, or complications with mortgage approvals. We communicate directly with other parties involved, including sellers, lenders, and title companies, to ensure that any potential obstacles are addressed before they become major problems. At Cona Elder Law, our goal is to make your residential real estate experience as seamless as possible, ensuring your investment is protected and the process is stress-free.

Commercial Real Estate

Cona Elder Law provides legal services for commercial real estate transactions, ensuring that your business interests are fully protected throughout the process. Whether you’re buying, selling, leasing, or developing commercial properties, our team offers experienced legal guidance to help you navigate the complexities of commercial real estate law in New York. We handle all aspects of the transaction, from contract drafting and negotiation to addressing zoning issues, environmental concerns, and regulatory compliance. Our attorneys understand the high stakes involved in commercial real estate and work diligently to protect your investment while ensuring a smooth transaction. Here’s how Cona Elder Law’s attorneys will help you navigate the muddy waters of a commercial real estate transaction.

Comprehensive Contract Review and Negotiation

Commercial real estate contracts are typically more complex than residential agreements, with intricate terms regarding zoning, property use, financing, and more. Cona Elder Law’s attorneys will meticulously review the purchase agreement to ensure the terms are favorable to you, identify any potential risks, and negotiate clauses that protect your business. Whether it's handling contingencies or addressing leaseback arrangements, our lawyers understand the commercial landscape can make a significant difference.

Due Diligence and Title Search

Commercial properties often have hidden complexities, such as title issues, zoning restrictions, or environmental concerns. Cona Elder Law attorneys will conduct thorough due diligence, including a detailed title search, to ensure there are no liens, encumbrances, or legal disputes attached to the property. We will verify zoning compliance and assess whether the property can be used for your intended purpose without legal challenges.

Navigating Local and State Laws

Commercial real estate transactions are subject to a range of local, state, and federal laws, including land use regulations, building codes, tax obligations, and environmental laws. Cona Elder Law attorneys are well-versed in these rules and will ensure that your purchase complies with all applicable regulations. This helps you avoid costly mistakes, delays, or legal penalties that could arise from non-compliance.

Lease Agreements and Financing

In many commercial real estate deals, leases and financing arrangements are key components. If you're purchasing a property to lease to tenants, our attorneys can help you draft or review lease agreements that protect your investment. Similarly, if your purchase involves securing financing or a loan, we can ensure the terms of the financing arrangement are favorable, and assist with negotiations and securing the best deal possible.

Investing in commercial real estate is a major decision, with far-reaching implications for your business. Having a real estate attorney by your side offers peace of mind, knowing that every aspect of your purchase is being handled with legal expertise, precision, and a focus on protecting your business interests, and Cona Elder Law Attorneys can be those attorneys for you.
