Real Estate Law in Dearborn Heights
Dearborn Heights sits next door, so its purchases, sales, title questions, and landlord-tenant matters are as routine for us as Dearborn's own. Landlord-tenant cases for the city are heard at the 20th District Court on Michigan Avenue.
Real Estate Law matters we handle for Dearborn Heights clients
Residential and commercial transactions, closings, title disputes, boundary fights, landlord-tenant litigation, and commercial leases.
The same attorney who takes your call handles your case from the first consultation through resolution, whether the matter settles, is negotiated, or has to be argued in court.
Where Dearborn Heights real estate law cases are handled
Deeds, mortgages, and liens on Dearborn Heights property are recorded with the Wayne County Register of Deeds. Title, boundary, and purchase disputes are heard in the 20th District Court for smaller matters or the Wayne County Circuit Court when the amount or the title question is larger. The closing itself happens at the title company, which is where most problems are caught before they become court cases.
For the courthouse itself (judges, contact details, case lookup, and what a first appearance looks like), see our guide to the 20th District Court in Dearborn Heights.
Sorting out the venue early matters, because it sets the deadlines, the filing requirements, and the judge your case will be in front of. It is one of the first things we settle for a Dearborn Heights client.

Michigan does not require a real estate attorney for residential closings, but having one is strongly recommended. An attorney reviews the title commitment, purchase agreement, and closing documents to catch defects, liens, and unfavorable contract terms before they become your problem.
Each side pays their own attorney. Buyer-side and seller-side attorneys represent only their client's interests. Title insurance and closing costs are negotiated between the parties, but legal fees are not split.
Most residential transactions are handled on a flat fee, quoted before any work starts, with the number depending on whether you need a closing review or full representation through contract drafting and negotiation. Commercial deals are typically billed hourly. We give you the figure at the initial consultation, before you commit to anything.
