4 Signs You Need To Hire a Real Estate Attorney

Indiana real estate laws are some of the most common laws that people deal with in their everyday lives. But find yourself navigating real estate law, and you’ll probably learn quickly that these laws are incredibly complex. Hiring a real estate attorney when you need one is the first step to protecting your rights and your property — and it can save you a lot of headaches in the process.

Boren, Oliver, & Coffey, LLP, has more than 30 years of experience in Indiana real estate law. Our real estate attorneys handle everything from trespassing and private boundary disputes to commercial land development, and we’re here for you.

Here are some of the most common signs that you need to find a real estate attorney.

1. You’re involved in a boundary dispute

Property lines should be clearly recorded in land surveys, but unfortunately, oversights and discrepancies occur all the time. Whether the dispute arises between you and a neighbor, a business, or even the government, boundary disputes can escalate fast — and having a real estate attorney on your side is critical.

When you work with our legal team, we help you collect evidence and present a strong defense to protect your rights. Our team has experience assisting with boundary disputes between individuals and businesses, as well as other organizations.

2. You’re dealing with trespassers on your land

As a property owner, you have rights. But unfortunately, trespassers can infringe on those rights — and even worse, put you, your property, or their own safety at risk in the process. If you’re dealing with trespassers on your land, real estate attorneys can help.

“No trespassing” signs are important, but that’s just one step of protecting your property. Our legal team helps you take a comprehensive approach to make trespassers aware of the situation and potential consequences, taking further legal action as needed.

3. You’re planning to develop land for another use

Land within municipalities is zoned for specific uses. When you’re planning to develop land for business or personal use, zoning ordinances can come into question, and you should have a real estate attorney at your side.

Our team assists you throughout the land development process. We can help you apply for land zoning variances. We also handle zoning dispute cases, for both new development and existing land uses.

4. You’re not sure if you need a real estate attorney

If you’re trying to decide whether you need to hire an attorney for your real estate issue, the answer is probably yes. Our legal team has worked with thousands of clients over the years, and getting an attorney involved early in any legal process is the best way to protect your interests.
