REAL ESTATE LAW

Did you know that in Illinois, homeowners can register a property as a Homestead to put it off limits to creditors? It’s meant to prevent homeowners from becoming homeless when the economy crashes. There are a lot of limits and rules around it, though, so you’ll need a smart real estate attorney. There are also real estate laws specific to Chicago, including lease and rental agreement laws, security deposit laws, commercial development laws, and many more.

Our point is that there is a lot more to real estate law in Chicago than just processing purchase and sale agreements, title paperwork, and such. That said, you also do want a real estate attorney who performs those services and more with both legal expertise and financial insight, because how the paperwork is put together can significantly affect your long-term financial goals, including tax liabilities, access to cash when you need it, estate transitions, and a whole lot more.
