Indianapolis, IN business attorney Ben Spandau talks about when an attorney is needed in a Real Estate Transaction. He states that attorneys are frequently asked when they should become involved in a real estate transaction. The ideal time is as early as possible—whether representing a buyer or a seller. In fact, involving legal counsel even before a specific property has been identified can be beneficial. Early engagement allows the attorney to assist with due diligence, marketing considerations, and drafting, ultimately streamlining the process and reducing legal costs. For commercial transactions, this often begins at the letter of intent stage, ensuring that the client’s interests are protected from the outset.
