- Real Estate TransactionsFrom the very beginning, representing individuals and financial institutions in the successful settlement of real estate transactions has been the cornerstone of the firm of Jacques & Jacques, P.C. The paperwork involved in the transfer of real estate is complex. The Agreement of Sale is the first of many documents in the process. At the settlement, Deeds, Mortgages, Notes and a myriad of loan documents appear before you, awaiting your signature. Most individuals feel more comfortable knowing that a knowledgeable attorney is there to explain documents and answer any questions. We can also draft and interpret real estate documents, including Agreements of Sale, Deeds, Mortgages, leases, and easements. We can hold settlements and arrange for title insurance.
