New Braunfels Residential Real Estate LawyersLegal Support for Home Deals Across New Braunfels

Legal Services for Residential Property in New Braunfels

Texas Horizons Law Group's New Braunfels residential real estate attorneys assist buyers, sellers, lenders, and agents with purchases, sales, leasing, and ownership. Our services include:

• Home Purchases and Sales

  Residential purchase agreements define the terms of a property sale, including purchase price, earnest money deposits, financing contingencies, inspection deadlines, repair provisions, and closing schedules.

  Our attorneys review purchase contracts before they are signed and prepare amendments when negotiations change the terms of the transaction. We also review closing documents issued by title companies, including deeds, settlement statements, and closing disclosures.

• Short Sale Matters

  We don’t do foreclosure defense. But we do foreclosures for lenders, either bank or individual.

  Short sale transactions require lender approval before the property can be sold. These sales often involve lender payoff statements, approval letters, and additional documentation required to complete the closing.

• Inspection Report Issues

  Inspection reports frequently lead to contract amendments in residential transactions. Structural damage, foundation problems, or mechanical failures may require repair negotiations between the buyer and seller.

  Our New Braunfels residential real estate lawyers review inspection findings alongside the purchase contract to determine how repair requests, credits, or termination rights apply under the agreement.

• Title Review

  Before closing, a title company issues a title commitment that identifies the property's ownership history and any claims that might affect it. These records may include liens, easements, deed restrictions, or mineral reservations.

  Title review focuses on identifying issues that must be resolved before ownership transfers. New Braunfels residential real estate lawyers often work with title companies to address claims that could delay or prevent closing.

• Residential Lease Agreements

  Lease agreements establish the terms of a rental relationship between landlords and tenants. These contracts typically address rent obligations, maintenance duties, security deposits, occupancy limits, and lease termination provisions.

  Our firm drafts and reviews residential leases to ensure the agreement reflects the intended terms of the rental arrangement and complies with Texas law. Note: we don’t represent tenants in residential landlord tenant, but we will represent landlord in drafting and enforcing a lease. Please revise.

• Estate Planning and Property Transfers

  Residential property is commonly transferred through estate planning tools such as wills, trusts, or transfer-on-death deeds. These documents determine how ownership will pass to heirs or beneficiaries.

  Legal work may involve preparing property transfer documents and coordinating real estate titles with an estate plan so the property transfers according to the owner’s wishes.
