Real Estate

Due diligence are crucial when acquiring or investing in real estate property. This is because deed documents may not necessarily reveal the true state of a property, making a thorough due diligence process the only means of eliminating risks.

At Silk Legal, we insulate the risks involved by carefully performing detailed analyses of deeds so that the ownership and and titles of a property are made certain. We also ensure that the details laid out in deeds correspond to the records at the Land Office, government permits are in order, and no encroachments are made with neighboring properties.

Ultimately, we ensure that the property in question complies with relevant zoning laws and regulatory approvals. We also screen for any likelihood of pending litigation and suits to prevent complications after your desired property has been purchased.
