Avoid These Common Risks When Dealing with Real Property

Double Sale

Is the seller selling the same lot to multiple people?

Fake Titles

Is the "Mother Title" actually clean and genuine?

Hidden Liens

Are there unpaid taxes or mortgages attached to the property?

Void Contracts

Will your Deed of Sale stand up in court if the heirs complain later?

A lawyer can help you accurately spot the real legal issue. It’s like a doctor or surgeon – diagnose first before prescribing. Don’t self-diagnose. If you fail to spot the real problem, you will fail to avail the correct remedy. Also, some people tend to bombard themselves with irrelevant issues. Finding the most relevant is practical. If you DIY and change your case theory later, the Court usually dismisses the case and calls it “belatedly raised”, “raised for the first time on appeal”, or “raised in the late stage of the proceedings.”
