An Attorney State
Massachusetts is considered an attorney state, meaning that all residential real estate transactions require a lawyer to represent the seller and a different lawyer to represent the buyer. This ensures someone is looking out for each party’s best interest, and has no conflict of interest. As a buyer, your lawyer can prepare your offer as well as assist you in specifying clauses for the transaction. As a seller, your lawyer will be extremely helpful in evaluating any offers and the legal terminology that they include.
Planning for Your Future
Your Boston attorney can also assist you with several important steps after you have purchased a new home. With a large new asset, you would be wise to review your estate plan and documentation with your attorney. The team at DiBella Law Offices, P.C., can guide you through the process of updating your will to include your home, or assist you in creating a trust that would own the home. We can also help you evaluate your current insurance policies to determine if you should increase your life insurance to cover the total amount of your mortgage. This can be an important step in protecting your spouse and children in the event of your death. Knowing that their home is secure can offer a great deal of comfort at an emotional and stressful time.
We've offered crucial support and guidance to individuals who have suffered injuries, ensuring their financial and emotional well-being.
Help for Boston Renters
As a renter, it can be difficult to know exactly what your rights are, but a real estate lawyer at DiBella Law Offices, P.C., can help you understand what your landlord must provide as a part of your rental agreement. For example, a landlord must provide snow removal in Boston, as well as units free of rodents and insect infestation. In the kitchen of the unit, the landlord must furnish a functional sink and a stove with an oven (but not a refrigerator). And from September 16th until June 14th, your landlord must provide a means of heating every room to at least 68 degrees. If your landlord is not providing a safe and functional place for you to live and refuses to correct issues that you are bringing to his or her attention, then DiBella Law Offices, P.C., will assist you in getting these issues corrected. You have a right to a habitable rental property, and we can help you get it.
