Real Estate

Buying or selling real estate is an important transaction in anyone’s life. A real estate transaction can be straightforward or incredibly complex, and you need an experienced lawyer and real estate team, by your side to advocate for you. 

We handle all manners of real estate purchases – residential purchases and sales, as well as business purchases of commercial property. In addition, we are “go-to” counsel for our real estate colleagues in those unfortunate instances where the deal unravels, escrows are held, and the parties cannot come to an agreement without litigation. purchases

Our real estate expertise also includes boundary disputes, ownership disputes, title/survey actions, and easement and adverse possession claims.​

Estate Planning and Probate Actions

We understand that thinking about the end of life can be uncomfortable for people. But there is nothing worse than being unprepared for the inevitable and leaving your loved ones to guess or, worse yet, to argue about your true intentions. At the Law Office of Wendy Crowther, we handle your Estate Planning with great care, compassion, humor, and attention to detail. We raise important questions in a clear and understandable way and provide a clear picture of what is needed to prepare end-of-life documents that take care of your loved ones. Our clients always comment that the process is much easier than they think it will be!
