MAKI LAW
Real Estate Purchase
Clear guidance from your agreement to your closing day. Maki Law helps home buyers understand the legal steps and prepare for a property purchase.
Legal support for your home purchase
A home purchase brings together a contract, financing arrangements, title information, and closing deadlines. Our role is to review the legal requirements, explain issues that need your attention, and coordinate the closing with the other professionals involved.
Send us your signed Agreement of Purchase and Sale and any amendments as early as possible. If you have not signed, ask about legal review before committing to the agreement.
Buying your first home
Understand the offer, conditions, ownership arrangements, and funds required before making a binding commitment. We explain the legal closing steps and questions to raise about tax refunds, financing, and the property itself.
Purchasing a newly built home
Builder contracts can address specifications, deposits, completion notices, adjustments, and warranties. Review the entire package and discuss how contract charges or changing dates may affect your financing and plans.
Investigating title and insurance
The registered ownership and interests on title can affect your purchase. We explain relevant search findings and discuss title insurance, its coverage, and issues requiring separate investigation or resolution.
Reviewing the purchase agreement
A legal review connects the main form with its schedules, conditions, representations, and special obligations. Raise uncertainties before signing or waiving a condition so the wording and available options can be considered.
Coordinating mortgage legal work
Mortgage approval and legal funding instructions are separate steps. We address title and registration requirements within the retainer, discuss the documents, and coordinate the legal conditions relevant to closing.
Deposit and trust arrangements
Clarify the deposit amount, recipient, payment date, and release arrangements in the contract. We explain the relevant trust and closing instructions and emphasize verification of payment information before money is transferred.
Planning the closing budget
Taxes, legal fees, title insurance, registration costs, lender-related charges, and adjustments can affect the final funds required. Request an estimate that distinguishes these categories and reflects your actual transaction.
Buying directly from an owner
A private purchase still requires a clear agreement, appropriate investigation, dependable deposit arrangements, and a legal closing plan. We help you understand those obligations when no realtor is coordinating the deal.
