Frequently Asked Questions
What legal issues come up most often in Brooklyn residential real estate transactions?
The most frequent issues in Kings County residential deals include title defects from unpaid tax liens or unsatisfied judgments, outstanding NYC Buildings violations that must be cured before closing, disagreements over what personal property is included or excluded from the sale, and financing contingency disputes when a mortgage commitment is delayed. Your attorney identifies and negotiates solutions to these problems before they derail the closing.
How long does a real estate closing attorney typically need to prepare for a Brooklyn closing?
After a contract is fully executed, your attorney needs at least 30–60 days to order and review the title report, coordinate mortgage commitment, review the title commitment, prepare closing documents, and schedule with the title company. Rushed timelines increase the risk of missing title defects or documentation errors. Brooklyn closings that involve co-op board approval require additional time — typically 60–90 days minimum from contract to close.
Can I use the same attorney for both buying and selling in a Brooklyn real estate transaction?
No. In New York, one attorney cannot represent both buyer and seller in the same real estate transaction — this is a conflict of interest under the Rules of Professional Conduct. Each party must retain independent counsel. If you are simultaneously buying one property and selling another (a common situation), your attorney can represent you in both transactions independently, since the interests of the buyer in one deal and the seller in another are not in conflict.
