Real Estate Legal Help in Jackson, Michigan
Most real estate problems are easier and less expensive to solve before a deal closes or before a dispute turns into a lawsuit. Inosencio & Fisk works with buyers, sellers, landlords, investors, developers and families who own property together, and we handle both the paperwork and the courtroom side of real estate law.
Transactions and documents
We prepare and review purchase agreements, land contracts, deeds, leases, easement agreements and closing documents for residential and commercial property. For families, we help sort out ownership of cottages and vacation homes so the property can pass smoothly from one generation to the next. For businesses, we review commercial leases and development agreements before you sign, when you still have room to negotiate.
Land contracts, foreclosure and forfeiture
Land contracts are common in Michigan, and so are the disputes that follow when payments stop. A seller may have the right to forfeit the contract or foreclose on it, and each path has its own notice requirements and court procedures. A missed step can cost months. We represent both sellers and buyers, and we also handle mortgage and tax foreclosure matters.
Quiet title, boundary and easement disputes
When there is a question about who owns a piece of property, or where one parcel ends and the next begins, a quiet title action asks the court to settle it. We also handle disputes over fences and structures that cross property lines, shared driveways, lake access easements, riparian rights and deed restrictions.
Landlord and tenant matters
We prepare residential and commercial leases and represent landlords in summary proceedings, including evictions in Jackson County District Court. Getting the notice and the paperwork right the first time is the fastest way to regain possession of a property.
How we work
We start by reviewing your documents and the history of the property, then explain your options in plain language, including what each one is likely to cost. Many disputes can be resolved with a well-drafted letter or through negotiation. When they cannot, our attorneys have the litigation experience to take the matter to court.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a real estate attorney to buy a house in Michigan?
Michigan does not require one, but an attorney can review the purchase agreement, title work and closing documents before you sign, which is when problems are easiest to fix. It is especially helpful for land contracts, for sale by owner deals, and property with easements or boundary questions.
What is a quiet title action?
A quiet title action is a lawsuit that asks the court to decide who owns a property or an interest in it. It is used to resolve competing claims, old liens, unclear deeds and boundary questions so the owner has clear title.
What happens if a buyer stops paying on a land contract?
Depending on the contract and the situation, the seller may be able to pursue forfeiture or foreclosure. Each has specific notice and court requirements, so it is important to talk with an attorney before taking action.
Can you help with an eviction in Jackson County?
Yes. We represent landlords in summary proceedings for both residential and commercial property and can prepare the required notices and court filings.
