For Sale By Owner Transactions

When you have a property that you are buying or selling without a real estate broker, it is critical that you have an experienced real estate attorney to assist and guide you through the process.

Trying to handle all of the technicalities yourself can prove to be disastrous.  We will also make sure that you are aware of all of the precautions you need to observe before you make a final decision for price or sale at all.

Short Sales & Foreclosures

Going through a short sale and/or foreclosure is a long and stressful process.  Please contact our office and our trained staff can assist you in negotiations with all parties involved. 

Our firm can also explain your options and represent you in legal proceedings if you are facing foreclosure or want to prevent foreclosure. We can help with procedural review, foreclosure appeals, private investor solutions, real estate sales and closing assistance, post sale representation, and buy-back negotiations.

Estate Planning, Wills and Trusts

The Law Office of Brenda Murzyn provides sophisticated and personal estate planning and probate services to all clients, regardless of the size of their holdings. Our experienced staff are committed to providing the individualized services and timely response and follow-up that are essential to meeting each client's personal needs.

Whether you are younger or older, married or single, a parent or without children, you need to invest in an estate plan. Estate planning is the process by which an individual or family arranges the transfer of assets in anticipation of death. An estate plan aims to preserve the maximum amount of wealth possible for the intended beneficiaries and flexibility for the individual prior to death.  Proper estate planning will avoid the chaos and wasted assets of an unplanned estate, enhance your sense of security, and provide a dimension of personal well-being to your loved ones.

Wills and trusts are common ways in which individuals dispose of their wealth. Trusts, unlike wills, have the benefit of avoiding probate, a lengthy and costly legal process that oversees the transfer of assets.  Contact our office today to find out which avenues of estate planning are proper for you.

Whether your new corporate formation becomes a corporation, joint venture, partnership, proprietorship or non-profit, our proactive business formation services can help you chose which path is the right one for you to take.

If you have a non-paying tenant we can assist you in recovering nonpayment of rent as well as any damages the property may have incurred. 

Mediations & Negotiations

In today's society, conflicts or disputes seem to be present in all human relationships.  Mediation can assist parties confronting a conflict or dispute to reach a mutually acceptable agreement by negotiating with each other. Mediation is a process that recognizes that parties trying to resolve a conflict or dispute may be encountering difficulties initiating the negotiation process or may have reached an impasse after beginning to negotiate on their own.

If you find yourself in a dispute and would like to try alternative avenues to filing a lawsuit, please contact our office for advice on proceeding with a mediation.
