Estate Planning and Probate |
| |
Russell K. Osgood is the
attorney who is primarily responsible for estate planning and probate.
Our firm offers a wide variety of legal services ranging from the
preparation of simple and complex wills, to tax strategies and planning
for estate planning. We also draft family trusts and living trusts,
as well as durable and healthcare powers of attorneys to assist
loved ones when faced with difficult end-of-life decisions. We also
represent estates when probate is necessary, whether or not a will is
involved.
|
Real Property Law |
| |
Each member of our firm
represents individuals and business in real property transactions which
can be as simple as the buying of a house to the acquisition of
shopping centers, housing tracts or large parcels of agricultural land.
We handle matters relating to title to real property and can draft deeds,
deeds of trusts and various other documents affecting title to real
property. We also handle matters relating to boundary disputes and acquisition
of road access whether through grants by easement or court decree.
|
Commercial Litigation |
| |
Steven E. Harris handles most of our
litigation for the firm. Commercial litigation includes court
action and/or arbitration of commercial leases disputes, construction
defect cases, or any other complex business or contract disputes which require resolution
through the
court system.
|
Corporations and Business |
| |
We offer a wide variety of services such as
the formation of corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships,
and limited partnerships, to name the most commonly encountered. We
can form "for profit" and "non-profit" organizations for our clients. We also provide a
variety of services relating to managing state required reporting, and
recording of business events for numerous legal entities.
|
Contract, Business and Real Property Disputes |
| |
While disputes which end up in court are
usually handled by Steven E. Harris, all of our attorneys handle contract,
business and real property disputed which can be settled before litigation
is required.
|
Real Property Development |
| |
Our firm is experience with real property
development of all sizes, whether involving division of a vacant lot into two separate building
sites, securing rights to build on mountain property, or the
subdivision of a large tract of raw agricultural land into housing or commercial lots
for sale or rental.
|
Foreclosures |
| |
Our firm handles foreclosure on real and
personal property from the initiation of the process through public sale. Most familiar to clients is the public trustee
foreclosure conducted under a power of sale contained in a deed of trust. We also handle judicial
foreclosures when collection on a debt requires court action to force a
sale of either personal or real property to satisfy that debt.
|
General Civil Representation |
| |
Much of our practice involves the counseling
and guidance of our clients away from legal problems or through legal
challenges encountered in almost any aspect of the business world.
We draft contracts as well as provide interpretation of contract
provisions before signed. We do not handle child custody,
divorce, criminal matters or personal injury, but are willing to help
assist you in the search for an attorney who can help you in this regard.
