Title & Real Estate

Purchasing and owning property involves a great deal of legal preparation and procedures. Many individuals may not realize how important it is to have quality representation when it comes to buying and/or selling real estate. When purchasing a home, Maine law requires the buyer have the right to choose who they would like to search the title. Remember, the Bank’s Title Company is looking after the Bank’s interest in the transaction- that interest can sometimes be divergent from the buyer. Furthermore, once you own your piece of property, issues often arise that require helpful guidance and possibly even legal advocacy. Attorney Govan is prepared to provide helpful answers to clients who wonder:

  • How do I put my spouse or partner on title?
  • What can I do to resolve this land ownership dispute with my neighbor?
  • Is there any way to make sure that my closest family members will have control of my property when I’m gone?
