The role of a property lawyer in land transactions goes beyond drawing up land documentS. A property lawyer helps clients with residential and commercial real estate legal issues, tenants and neighbors, commercial leasing, and private property ownership. They assist with the transfer of real estate property, including purchase and sale. They help clients to deal with the legal aspect of rental property and defend the rights of owners, landlords, renters, and tenants.

A property lawyer protects the interests of sellers, buyers, and other parties to minimize the risk of financial loss. They are also responsible for negotiating real estate contracts, making the right offer and acceptance for a property, making sure his client gets the right offer for a property or has accepted the right offer for a property. He specializes in land use, mortgage, Deeds, property development, foreclosure, reviews the contract of purchase and sale and educates or advises clients with respect to potential issues that might come up in a contract of purchase or sale. He usually stands as a trustee to his client. This means that one of the many duties of a lawyer is to in good faith make decisions on behalf of his client and to determine what transaction that is most beneficial to such client. He conduct a search of title, obtains copies of all instrument registered on title, reviews these documents and advise the buyers on any potential obstacles, and with the buyers instructions the lawyer goes ahead to remove such obstacle.

A property lawyer is also responsible for preparing transfer documents and filing them at the land title office, registering the transfer of ownership of title and making sure that his client get all the proper and accredited land instrument for a purchased land.
