We Can Help Make Sure That Your Transactions Go Through Smoothly

Although most people use an attorney to assist them in the closing of a sale of their home, many do not think to do the same when buying or selling a boat. In today’s world, where the sales of even modestly sized recreational boats can run into the tens of thousands of dollars, and some involve quite a bit more, it can often be beneficial to have an attorney assist with the transaction to help make sure that you are not making mistakes that can come back to haunt you later. Whether you are selling your boat and want assistance with a sales contract, or the transfer of title and the sales funds, or you are a buyer who needs advice on potential maritime liens, assistance with loan documents, or other aspects of the transaction, we can help.
