Property interests
Guidance for residential and commercial real estate matters.
Buyers, sellers, owners, and landlords face legal questions at every stage of property ownership and transfer.
The firm evaluates the governing documents, title record, business terms, and potential exposure so clients can make informed decisions before closing, during ownership, or when a dispute develops.
Real estate matters combine contracts, recorded interests, financing, possession, and significant practical stakes. D Mallett Law helps clients understand the legal issues and protect their position throughout a transaction or dispute.

Comprehensive support
Real estate matters the firm can evaluate.
Transactions and disputes often overlap. Early review can identify title, contract, lease, disclosure, or ownership issues before they become more costly.
Purchase and sale transactions
Contract review and guidance from initial terms through closing for residential and commercial acquisitions, dispositions, and related obligations.
Titles and deeds
Review of deeds, ownership history, transfer documents, title-insurance issues, inheritance-related conveyances, and questions affecting marketable title.
Liens and encumbrances
Evaluation of tax liens, mechanic’s liens, competing claims, recorded restrictions, title defects, and potential quiet-title remedies.
Commercial and residential leases
Drafting, negotiation, interpretation, enforcement, alleged defaults, possession issues, and other landlord or property-owner concerns.
Property and estate coordination
Consideration of how real estate ownership, trusts, wills, business entities, and succession objectives work together in a broader plan.
Real estate disputes
Counsel on partition actions, failed contingencies, alleged nondisclosure, property defects, contract claims, negotiation, mediation, and litigation.
Titles and deeds
Preserving ownership interests.
Clear title is central to a purchase, inheritance-related transfer, financing, or partition action. Careful review can reveal liens, defects, competing claims, or other encumbrances that should be addressed before transfer or during a dispute.
Responsive counsel
Strategy shaped around the property and the client.
Real estate is often both a major financial asset and a personal concern. The firm balances decisive legal work with attention to cost, timing, leverage, and the client’s ownership or business goals.
