The course is intended for new lawyers and for experienced lawyers new to the real estate law area or as a refresher to more experienced lawyers. It is a very basic course.
This is not a short version of the Advanced Real Estate Course.
We will not be following along with a course book the way a traditional CLE course flows, rather it will be a discussion in which we walk you through the moving parts of a real estate practice—the basic documents you will see, the people you will interact with, and a study of a survey.
You will benefit from a panel with over 229 years of combined real estate practice experience, representing a wide variety of practices and you will receive reference materials covering over 20 practice topics which you will be able to refer back to for further guidance.
We will help you with those ‘off of the top of our head issues’ like:
• My seller-finance lender died. How do I get a release now that I’ve paid off the note?
•What do you mean they can drill on my land - the broker said I was getting the ‘surface rights’?
• My mom has a life estate but she’s NCM - how do I sell the land/grant an easement/ lease the minerals?
•Grandpa sold the front 40 acres and kept the back part (but no easement to get there) - why is this a problem to my new lender?
• The old fence doesn’t match the calls in the deed - what can I do?
•Dad’s will divided the properties to a series of trusts that were never formally created - who owns the property?
• Can I just use a quitclaim deed?
•Divorce lawyers did not handle the real property - how do I get my name off the loan?
• How do I get a valid legal description?
•My mother-in-law just died, how do we change the title to her home?
And many more...
