Real Estate Planning & Cottage Succession

Often, we discover real estate issues at crisis times, such as when a buyer is purchasing the property, or when heirs are fighting over the use, maintenance, or succession of a family cottage.

Our real estate planning review includes:

• review of title and survey for issues and concerns revolving around boundaries, rights of way, subdivision issues, zoning opportunities, wetlands and environmental restrictions, and access;
• review of options for subdiving land for future sales or for gifting to family, avoiding or addressing boundary line disputes, granting of rights of way and easements, and confirming or extinguishing old rights in property;
• planning for cottage succession by reviewing varying wants and desires of family members and offering solutions that work.

In our experience, we find that clients who invest the time and expense on their real estate planning save themselves time, aggravation, and far more expenses later when situations are less favorable for informal and inexpensive resolution.
