Title Searches and Title Insurance
When purchasing a home, you want to be certain the title is free of defects. Title insurance can help protect you against title defects, however, the process can still be quite complex. The title insurance company will review the title and provide you with a title insurance commitment. However, receiving this title insurance commitment does not mean your title is clear. Ask our experienced real estate attorneys to review your title commitment for any potential issues. Title defects can be detrimental to the property and include:
- Broken chain of title (meaning the seller does not have the right to sell the property)
- Unpaid liens
- Property restrictions
- Driveway easements
Avoid major property defects and headaches with our knowledgeable real estate lawyers.
Offer to Purchase
The offer to purchase contains many terms and conditions both the seller and buyer agree to by signing. Common terms and conditions include:
- Purchase price
- Closing date
- Move-in date
- Property legal description
- Guarantee of clear title
- Items included/not included in the sale
Once the offer to purchase is signed by both parties, it is considered to be a legally binding contract and should be taken very seriously. Our team of well-qualified attorneys can help you draft or review an offer to purchase to ensure you’re getting exactly what you want.

The real estate closing process can be a very confusing and complicated process without the guidance of our experienced Menomonee Falls lawyers.

During the closing process our attorneys:

Real Estate Transfer Return
If you are transferring ownership of any type of real estate, you are required by state law to electronically file a real estate transfer return with the county Register of Deeds.

Contact our knowledgeable real estate attorneys to help you electronically file your Real Estate Transfer of Return and ensure your rights to the property are protected.
