Michigan Real Estate Attorneys

Szura & Delonis, PLC helps buyers, sellers, commercial landlords/ tenants, and property owners handle real estate transactions and real estate disputes across Michigan. Even “simple” deals can hide title problems, unclear deed language, easement issues, and contract terms that create risk after closing. We work with clients and real estate professionals to spot problems early and resolve them efficiently.

Our firm has 25+ years of real estate experience, including real estate transactions and litigation.

Real estate problems often come down to what the documents actually say—and whether the title can support the deal. Attorney Richard M. Delonis previously handled claims for a major title insurance company as outside counsel and resolved nearly one hundred property title disputes. That experience helps our clients identify problems earlier and choose solutions that protect value and reduce surprises.

FAQs: Michigan Real Estate Law

Do I need an attorney for a real estate purchase or sale in Michigan?

In most cases, it’s smart to retain an experienced real estate attorney for a purchase or sale—especially before you sign. Even “routine” deals can hide title problems, unclear contract terms, repair and disclosure disputes, easement issues, or closing-day surprises. We’ve seen many buyers and sellers skip legal review to “save money,” only to spend far more later on litigation to fix issues that could have been identified and corrected during the transaction process—before closing.

What is a “title issue” and why does it matter?

Title issues are problems in the ownership record—like unclear deed language, old liens, or competing claims—that can delay closing, reduce value, or trigger disputes after the sale.

When should I involve an attorney on a commercial lease?

Before signing. Lease terms often shift major risks (repairs, compliance, default remedies, insurance obligations) and can become expensive if they don’t match how the property will be used.

Do you handle boundary and easement disputes?

Yes. Disputes over property lines and access rights are common and often turn on documents, history of use, and the best path to resolution.

Do you handle litigation if the dispute can’t be resolved?

Yes. The firm handles real estate disputes and broader litigation matters in a cost-effective, outcome-driven way.
