Residential Real Estate



Whether you are a homeowner buying, selling or managing your residential real estate, your home is likely one of your most valuable assets and greatest investments. Expert advice is a smart investment.


Some of the ways in which LaPlume Law can help you are:


- P&S. Preparing and negotiating Purchase and Sale agreements for the purchase or sale of your home, vacation home or investment property.


. Conveyancing. This means the transfer of title to real property. You can hire the firm to do this work if you are purchasing cash, or can direct your lender to use LaPlume Law if you are using a mortgage lender - whether you are purchasing or refinancing.


- Condominiums. Whether you are creating a new condominium, are an association looking for assistance or guidance, need to update your condominium's documentation, or are dealing with a project or conflict, LaPlume Law can help.


- Private loans. In addition to representing institutional lenders, LaPlume Law often assists with loans between family loans and hard money mortgage lenders.


- Managing real estate. Changes to real estate and its uses are inevitable over time. We can assist with lot subdivisions, creating condominiums, reviewing home improvement contracts and more.


- State of title. Often other professionals need to confirm who holds title to a property, or need assistance with clearing title.



Commercial Real Estate



Whether you are a business trying to expand your footprint or trying to reduce your rent obligations, you are a real estate developer, or you have come across a real estate investment opportunity, LaPlume Law is here to help.


Assistance may include:


- Commercial leases. Most businesses rent and do not own the location that is used for their business. We represent both tenants and landlords.


- Conveyancing. Purchase and sale of commercial space, including letters of intent, offers to purchase, purchase and sale agreements, and guidance during due diligence and permitting. Title transfer. License transfer, as applicable.


- Real estate development. From build-out contract review to multi-phase condominium development. Sometimes you need a small change to make things easier for the current use, sometimes you have big plans.


- Structuring. How title is held is not always simple, and sometimes for good reason. From a partnership on a real estate development deal, to managing the use of an inter-generational family vacation home, the legal and tax implications may be as different as they are important. LaPlume Law can also assist with related entity creation, if appropriate.


- State of title. Professionals sometimes need to confirm who owns real estate, from estate planning attorneys, to litigators, to tax professionals, and more. We can assist with determining state of title, and clearing title issues, as necessary.
