What does a real estate attorney exactly do?

The services offered by real estate lawyers vary. Some work on transactions related to commercial buildings, such as office space; others focus on the development, sale and purchasing of residential housing; and some have more general expertise involving all types of property. Lawyers who specialize in real estate ensure that proper procedures are followed during the acquisition or sale of property. They also may be concerned with how a property is zoned for usage. Real estate law covers deeds, property taxes, estate planning, zoning, and titles. During the purchase of a property, the real estate attorney and staff might prepare documents, write title insurance policies, complete title searches on the property, and handle the transfer of funds for the purchase. If the purchase is being financed, the attorney is responsible for paperwork such as the federal HUD-1 Form and related transfer of funds documentation for the buyer's lender.
