A real estate attorney can prevent many otherwise unforeseen difficulties from arising and by doing so protect the both the long term and short term interests the client. Hiring an attorney to handle your next real estate transaction will be money well spent.

Terminology

Real estate or real property are legal terms meaning not only the land itself but also anything permanently affixed to the land, such as buildings, or other property that is stationary, or fixed in location. However, while the term real property is used primarily to refer to just the property itself, the term "real estate" also may include not just to the property itself but also the legal nature of the interest in the property held by its owner. The terms real estate and real property are used primarily in states which originally followed English Common Law such as Massachusetts. States, such as Louisiana, whose court system instead initially followed the French civil law court system, generally use the term immovable property instead.
