There are many reasons to hire a real estate attorney for your real estate needs. You do not necessarily have to be involved with any litigation to benefit from a qualified real estate attorney's counsel and assistance in a variety of matters including a real estate closing where a real estate attorney can protect you from costly mistakes, errors in the documents, errors in the figures and other problems that could lead to litigation or other expensive legal action. An attorney can also help you keep your property out of probate court by setting up a living trust for you to pass your property directly to your intended heirs.
