Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Absolutely. The sale of a home is a complex and sizable transaction. You should ALWAYS protect your interest when you're selling real estate. This is particularly true in your case because your interests do NOT necessarily align with your ex-husband's business interests.

It is imperative that you have someone making sure that your interests are protected. The cost is minimal in the grand scheme of things and the potential risk far outweighs the cost of having competent counsel at the closing.

This one is a no brainer. Hire a lawyer ASAP.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Christopher

I agree with Christopher. Its a very small investment to make sure you are properly protected throughout the transaction. We have substantial experience handling all types of real estate closings and very reasonable fees. You are welcome to contact me for a free consultation.

There is no attorney-client relationship established by this communication and no privilege attaches to such communication. CLP is not taking and will not take any action on your behalf and will not be considered your attorney until both you and CLP have signed a written retainer agreement.

Therefore, if you desire the services of an attorney and decide not to retain CLP on terms acceptable to CLP, you are advised to immediately seek the services of another attorney.

I also agree with the above authors. In such a large transaction, with divergent interests, it is always best if each party has their own representation.
