I handle both simple and complex real estate property law transactions for my St. Louis clients. Whether it is a purchase of a residence to live in or as complicated Section 1031 Exchange, I counsel and facilitate these transactions for my clients. Many times clients will contact me when buying or selling property either with or without a real estate agent in order to help them with the nuances of such a real estate transaction including the preparation of the purchase contract, review and markup of the title insurance commitment and the actual closing. Again, depending upon the transaction, I usually handle these types of matters by charging a flat fee as opposed to an hourly rate. Many times, my real estate and estate planning practices overlap as the retitling of real estate in either the name of a Trust or a Family Limited Partnership may be necessary to accomplish the estate planning goals of client.
