Lending & Mortgage Legal Services:
(Price range is a base estimate only and may vary widely.)
OPTIONAL: A focused first step when you’re structuring or signing a real estate–backed loan. We review your deal, goals, and any draft documents (term sheet, note, or mortgage), then give you a clear written recommendation on structure, collateral, guaranties, and key risk points before you commit.
We draft a complete, lender-grade loan package tailored to your deal: promissory note, mortgage or deed of trust, and basic amortization schedule. Suitable for banks, private lenders, and investor loans on residential or small commercial property.
When you only need a single clean document—such as just a promissory note, or just a mortgage/deed of trust to secure an existing debt—we prepare the requested instrument, tailored to your deal terms, and provide signing and recording guidance. Recording fees and any mortgage tax or county costs are additional. Pricing is per instrument.
When a private lender and borrower have agreed on terms, an attorney runs the closing. We prepare or review the note and mortgage, check title and identify any existing liens to be paid off, prepare the closing figures, supervise signing, and record the mortgage so the lender’s lien is in place. Title insurance, recording fees, and any mortgage tax or county costs are additional.
When a borrower is in trouble—missed payments, covenant violations, or looming default—we review the loan documents, collateral position, and practical options (demand, modification, foreclosure, deed-in-lieu, judgment enforcement), then map out an enforcement strategy, with a fee estimate before the work starts. If the matter proceeds into foreclosure or litigation, the remaining work is estimated by phase and billed as the work is performed (see Litigation Fees).
Pricing is Variable
The above pricing table is intentionally over-simplified and may not reflect the actual dynamics of a legal matter. Additional requests for advice or services may arise. For this reason, pricing may be highly variable. Out-of-pocket costs (if any) are additional. If a legal matter becomes disputed at any point, fees transition to our Litigation Pricing Structure.
Obtain a Custom Fee Estimate
Generalized pricing is far less accurate than customized pricing. We need to discuss your situation and goal to formulate a more accurate initial fee estimate.
