Media Real Estate Lawyer Discusses Real Estate Transaction Issues

 Delaware County Real Estate Lawyer Discusses Real Estate Transaction IssuesAs an experienced Media Real Estate Lawyer I am often asked about issues that arise during real estate transactions.  One thing we see quite frequently with buyers in the context of a real estate transaction is that they often take title in their personal names and then look later to transfer the property into an entity that gives them liability protection such as a corporation or limited liability company. In Pennsylvania that’s a mistake. The transfer of title from the individual to the corporation or limited liability company, even though they own the company 100%, will trigger a real estate transfer tax. That can be very expensive. One thing as the buyer – understand the issue of limiting your liability and take title originally in a corporation or limited liability company format so you can avoid any additional real estate transfer tax later on.
