Accretion

The term "accretion" refers to the process by which an area of real property is increased due to the gradual deposit of soil from a boundary river, stream, lake, pond, or tidal waters. The legal implications that stem from accretion derive from ancient common law.

Finding a Lawyer for a Real Estate Matter

At some point, nearly everyone needs the services of a lawyer. A transaction involving the sale or purchase of real estate may well be one of those instances.

Timeshares

A timeshare is an interest in real property. The nature of the interest varies somewhat, depending on the nature of the timeshare itself, but usually the buyer acquires the right to use a specified property during a certain period of time each year.

In residential real estate transactions, it is not uncommon for standard contracts to contain a clause that makes the buyer's consummation of the transaction contingent upon the home passing a termite inspection.
