South Carolina | Real Estate Law
Legal Question
do I need a lawyer to buy my dads house that he still owes money on?
Legal Answer
If the house is in South Carolina, then yes, you do. There are states that do not require that a lawyer do it. But the safest way is to let a lawyer handle it. Buying a house is probably the single most important financial transaction of a person's life. There are numerous documents that need to be legally perfect. That is to protect you.
My office is in the Myrtle Beach area and we do closings for Horry & Georgetown Counties, and a lot of the surrounding counties. I have been very successful keeping my attorney fees below that of other lawyers.
I'd be happy talking with you if you would like some help buying a house. You can call me or email me.
