Below are some of the real estate services Guttormsen Law Office, LLC offers to its clients:

For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) Transactions:

Often times, an owner of real estate wishes to sell his or her property without the assistance of a real estate broker. In many such cases the buyer is also not working with a real estate agent. Although entering into a FSBO transaction is most often very beneficial to both the seller and buyer, it is something that should not be attempted without professional legal assistance. The complexity of a real estate transaction requires the attention and expertise of an experienced professional. The numerous documents detailing your rights and responsibilities regarding the transfer of ownership can have serious financial and legal consequences. Why leave things to chance when you could have competent legal representation to protect your rights and your investment?

Please read on for more information about how Attorney Guttormsen is prepared to assist both buyers and sellers through successful For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) transactions.

Broker-Involved Transactions:

While real estate brokers and agents perform a valuable service in pairing a buyer with a seller's property and negotiating the terms of an agreement, there is a limit to the additional services they are qualified, or legally permitted, to perform. A real estate purchase contract is a complex legal document with many thousands of dollars at stake. That legal document controls your transaction and dictates your rights and responsibilities. There are multiple other legal documents involved with your purchase, sale or financing as well. Real estate agents cannot practice law or give legal advice, nor can they identify and resolve legal problems that may arise in your transaction. That is why it is so important to trust your transaction, and your financial well being, to a skilled, licensed, legal professional. Attorney Guttormsen will be your advocate, your advisor, and your security, in your real estate transaction.

BUSINESS LAW

When establishing a new business, the type of entity you choose can have a profound effect on the venture's success and profitability. If you're starting a new business, you can count on Guttormsen Law Office, LLC to offer the advice and guidance needed to determine whether to operate a business as a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation or limited liability company. Once that decision is made, we can provide all the services necessary to create the entity, structure its ownership and management, and commence operations, all in the manner that best suits the client's needs. Giving full consideration to the client's particular circumstances, goals and objectives is paramount to this process.

For existing businesses, Guttormsen Law Office, LLC can provide the necessary services to help them conduct day-to-day activities, but also assist when special or extraordinary needs arise. We can negotiate and draft various forms of contracts and leases, prepare operational documents, review and draft complex legal documents, assist with ownership or management disputes, and provide effective representation for the orderly transfer or disposition of ownership interests when selling or restructuring a business. Our goal is to handle these tasks for our clients, so they can focus on the important task of running their business.

ESTATE PLANNING

Preparing for the inevitable is a process no one looks forward to, but is one of the utmost importance. You've spent your lifetime building your estate, and it's important to give consideration to how that estate will pass when the time comes. It can pass according to your wishes, or without an effective estate plan, in a manner over which you have absolutely no control. It is also important to consider how decisions regarding your finances, property and health care will be made in the event you are incapacitated and unable to make those decisions yourself.

At Guttormsen Law Office, LLC, we will give serious and sensitive consideration to your wishes and personal circumstances and assist you with preparing an estate plan that serves your particular needs. We will prepare a Will to allow your estate to pass to the next generation, Powers of Attorney to designate someone to make health care decisions for you and manage your financial matters if you are unable to do so, and a Declaration to Physicians which will relieve a family member or friend of the responsibility of making life-or-death decisions for you. We can also provide for the automatic transfer of your real estate outside of the probate process. With good advance planning, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your affairs will be handled according to your wishes, and your family will not be handed the burden of making difficult decisions without knowing what those wishes may be.

Call our office at (262)925-9025 to learn more about how we can help prepare a personal and effective estate plan for you.

CONTRACTS

The need for an enforceable legal contract arises in the sale and purchase of goods and services, loans of money, purchases and rental of real estate, co-ownership of property, multiple business transactions and ventures, and virtually every other type of situation where mutual obligations arise. The most frequent cause of contract disputes is uncertainty or vagueness in the agreement, causing conflicting interpretations. The clarity and certainty needed for an enforceable contract can only be achieved by having the document drafted by a professional who understands the law and its legal consequences and can identify the important terms, anticipate problem areas, and prepare the agreement in a clear, precise, and legally effective manner. Guttormsen Law Office, LLC has the skill and expertise to review, analyze, negotiate and prepare most types of contracts, and will ensure that your interests are being properly protected when entering into agreements with others.

If you are the unfortunate victim of a motorcycle accident, you need someone on your side who understands your perspective on the road. As a rider himself, Attorney Guttormsen is uniquely experienced to evaluate your case and assist you with obtaining the financial compensation to which you are entitled.
