Real Estate

Whether you are buying or selling a home or commercial building, we have the experience to represent you throughout negotiations and closing. We routinely represent buyers, sellers, and lenders in real estate transactions. We are dedicated to working with all parties involved in order to have your closing occur timely and without delays.

For every closing, we perform a title search in order to make sure there are no outstanding mortgages, liens, or other title issues which need to be addressed before the closing. Even though a title search is done, it is important to consider buying title insurance, and most mortgage companies will require its purchase. Our attorneys are licensed to sell title insurance – title insurance can be purchased in order to help protect you from claims due to undisclosed liens, encroachments, building permit violations, and unpaid taxes.

Even if you have bought or sold property in the past, it is important to have an attorney review and prepare your documents. Real estate laws change frequently, and missing a document could delay your closing or violate tax laws.

Our experience in litigation also enables us to represent clients in adverse possession, boundary dispute, breach of a Purchase & Sale Agreement, and easement/right of way determination cases.

Our attorneys are licensed to do closings in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. Call our office (401-647-1400) or send an e-mail to Closings@GorhamLaw.com to get started today.
