Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an attorney if I already have a real estate agent?
Real estate agents handle marketing and price negotiations for real estate transactions. Real estate attorneys ensure your real estate contracts are legally sound, prevent hidden liabilities, and draft complex custom agreements (like seller financing) that fall outside a real estate agent’s legal scope.
What is an intra-family transfer, and why do I need a lawyer for it?
Passing real estate to family incorrectly in California can trigger severe property tax reassessments or capital gains taxes. We structure these real estate transfers to minimize your tax liability and ensure a smooth transition of wealth.
Can you help with seller financing agreements?
Yes. We draft comprehensive Promissory Notes and Deeds of Trust to securely protect your financial interests, whether you are the buyer or the seller.
What areas do you serve?
We serve clients throughout Northern California and the Bay Area from our Sacramento and Palo Alto offices, offering flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs
