Our Practice Areas

Real Estate

The real estate practice area is a growing one for Hronek Law. Discussions of administering real estate naturally occurs when preparing an estate plan or handling property of a decedent. Not only do clients have a primary residence, but also vacation or second homes, timeshares, and investment property. Or, all of the above!

There are many matters that arise because of property ownership – what is the most efficient way to transfer my property to my heirs, what if I’d like to sell my property to a friend, what if I’d like to rent my property, how do I handle the property which my business owns?

Hronek Law provides crucial counsel on how to handle these matters in a common sense way. Christina can assist with all of these matters with the preparation of deeds, leases, purchase agreements, land contracts and lease-purchase agreements.

Estate Planning

Unfortunately, we will all reach a point in our lives where we are no longer able to handle our affairs and ultimately pass. Often we know who we want to help us in times of need and who should inherit our property. It’s also possible that we do not and are overwhelmed by the options and these decisions. Many factors need to be considered when creating a plan – who is best positioned to help you, are your heirs responsible or will they squander their inheritance, are any beneficiaries receiving government benefits? Without a plan, a Probate Court steps in to make these decisions for you – for better or worse.

Only seeking the counsel of Hronek Law will ensure that all options are evaluated and a complete plan is put into place.

Guardianship
