When you are purchasing property and need to go through the process of having your property inspected and signing contracts, you should work with a real property lawyer Memphis, TN relies on from Patterson Bray. We understand that many people may be confused about working with a real estate agent and an attorney, but when there is a contract involved and you are making a large purchase, it can be incredibly helpful to have an attorney on your side to ensure you are making a wise decision. Call our office now if you would like to get to work on purchasing a property.
How can an attorney help me with my closing?
If you are purchasing a home or some type of property, you likely already realize that this is one of the biggest purchases you will make in your lifetime and you want to ensure that you are not overspending or getting a bad deal. While a real estate agent can be helpful during this process, they will not have the legal background necessary if an issue arises with the closing or if the selling party does not hold up their end of the contract. Your attorney can also help explain legal real estate documents and go over the details of contracts before you sign them so you know what you are getting into.
Can’t I just use my real estate agent for the purchasing process?
While a real estate agent will be the person you want when it comes to negotiating prices for a house and walking you through different listings, a real estate attorney can provide you with legal advice, draft contracts, and review any purchasing documents.
Why else is it important to have an attorney on your side during this process?
Especially if you are considering creating an estate plan once you purchase property, it can be helpful to have an estate planning lawyer Memphis, TN offers on your side so that you can begin the process shortly after purchasing property. This can make your estate planning much simpler when you have an attorney who knows the property intimately and can assist you in drafting an estate plan.
Do I need a property survey?
A property survey is useful because it helps determine where your property’s boundaries are. This is especially important if you want to conduct any work on your land or if a boundary issue comes up with a neighbor.

Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had an outstanding experience with this firm across multiple needs, including trust document creation and forming an LLC. From start to finish, they were professional and proactive. They made sure we understood every step of the process and checked in to confirm our preferences, as well as offering thoughtful alternatives whenever something didn’t feel like a good fit. That level of communication and attention to detail is rare. Every interaction built confidence that we were in the right hands. They not only handled the legal work effectively, but also made the entire process feel manageable and well-guided. We cannot recommend them highly enough and will absolutely continue using them in the future.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attorney Judith Denham and her legal assistant, Gaby Wright, made a great team in creating a trust for me. Judith explained everything in a clear, cohesive way and set up a trust in a timely manner. She gave me a binder for my trust with all the legal paperwork sectioned off in tabs so I can find things easily. When I had questions, Judith and Gaby were responsive and helpful. I give them my highest recommendation.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It does a good job of explaining services and further supports itself with testimonials.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a few (what I would consider) silly questions to ask the legal team at Patterson Bray PLLC. Having very little knowledge of the situation I needed clarity on, I had no idea what to expect. I was met with nothing but professionalism and warmth from attorney Rachel Meadows. She gave me information I didn’t even remotely consider, and my questions were thoroughly answered without judgement. She could have certainly given me less detailed responses, but I felt that she genuinely cared about my situation, and appreciated her taking me seriously. I’m extremely impressed with the service I received from this law firm and will happily recommend it.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After bringing up my specific legal issue, I was quickly and throughly informed on how to get started with hiring an attorney as well as informed on whether or not I have a claim to begin with.
