Perhaps the most fundamental aspect of real estate law is the process by which a person either acquires or gives up ownership of property. Numerous issues must be addressed in this process. What will the warranties be? What will the seller be liable for, and on what issues will the seller be relieved? What will be the inspection rights of the purchaser before the sale, and will there be any limitations on those inspections?

Steeg Law has experience in handling these purchase and sale issues, and the consequences of handling these issues can be very serious.

Another set of concerns relates to exactly what bundle of rights a buyer is acquiring, or what rights are being excluded. At this point, one must also consider issues of servitudes (easements) that either benefit or burden the real estate, as well as other rights that encumber the property.

Our real estate attorneys and our title attorneys work side by side in addressing these types of problems and finding integrated, comprehensive solutions that are tailored to the needs and goals of our clients in Greater New Orleans and throughout Louisiana.
