Real Estate Law

The Potomac Maryland area has great commercial and residential real estate opportunities for real estate investors, first-time homebuyers, and large Maryland corporations. Though Potomac has a different option for each kind of real estate buyer or investor, it is critical for any person interested in buying or investing in Potomac real estate to hire a knowledgeable real estate attorney before you start this process. Antonoplos & Associates group of Potomac attorneys consistently receives recognition as one of the best real estate law firms in Potomac and will normally assist clients with the acquisition, sale, leasing, management, financing and development of office, industrial, retail, and residential real estate projects. Furthermore, our Potomac real estate practice focuses on advising investors, property owners, buyers, sellers, lenders, receivers, brokers, landlords, and tenants throughout Potomac on the purchase and sale of real estate.

Even with the help of an experienced, knowledgeable, and trusted Potomac real estate attorney, litigation occurring from property disputes may occur. When litigation or a form of alternative dispute resolution is inevitable, it is even more important that you have someone on your side who has the ability to quickly navigate legal issues. At Antonoplos & Associates, our Potomac real estate litigation attorneys analyze each individual lawsuit. From this initial examination, we can evaluate our opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, and then attack these claims in the areas that give us the best opportunities for success. By taking this approach, we provide our clients with the best and easiest path to success. Depending on the circumstances, our Potomac real estate lawyers may decide to negotiate a deal that has creative yet favorable terms for our client. However, other cases might be best suited if our real estate attorneys pursue an approach focused on focusing on each of our opponent’s faults and pursuing the lawsuit to its fruition.

Probate Law

At Antonoplos & Associates, our probate lawyers’ first and foremost objective is to help our clients navigate Maryland Probate Administration and Maryland Probate Litigation in the Potomac area. Maryland probate law is confusing. This is true no matter the value of an estate. For many people, the passing of a loved one is the first time that they will experience Maryland probate law. Because of this, most individuals do not know anything about the process of Maryland probate and need guidance to navigate probating a family members estate. Additionally, many people don’t connect with an attorney familiar with Maryland probate law before their loved one dies. With no understanding of the Maryland probate laws and little professional guidance, family members will fight, stalling the probate process, and create expensive legal conflict. If a dispute does occur between family members, our experienced probate lawyers will attempt to offer the counsel required to help our clients through this difficult time. When it’s time to litigate a probate estate, our experienced team of probate lawyers can represent your interests and make sure that the estate is handled properly, according to the terms of the law.

The Antonoplos & Associates Potomac probate attorneys most commonly assist clients with probate petitions and the supporting documents, petitions for appointment of personal representative, preparation of first & final account, notices to creditor, first and final accounting, and preparation of estate tax returns.

Trust Administration

Trust Administration is an overwhelming and exhausting process that is extremely critical to the family of the person who left the estate. This is true for both beneficiaries and trustees. Thus, the combination of complex laws, the amount of assets, and the number of people involved in trust administration is normally too much to handle for someone that is unexperienced in trust law. As the trustee to a trust, you will be tasked with overseeing and distributing assets in the trust in an efficient and cost-effective manner. This is difficult to meet if someone is unfamiliar with financial management and the complex trust administration process. For more than two decades, Antonoplos & Associates groups of Potomac trust administration attorneys have advised trustees concerning any issues that stem from trust administration. Our guidance ensures that each of our clients distribute trust assets correctly and efficiently while minimizing associated tax burdens. Furthermore, our team of trust attorneys assist trust beneficiaries if they feel that the trustee to the trust did not complete their job correctly or took assets from the trust for self-serving purposes. Finally, our group of Potomac trust administration attorneys commonly assist clients with establishing, overlooking, and distributing assets from living trusts, testamentary trusts, irrevocable life insurance trusts, charitable remainder trusts, qualified domestic trusts, spendthrift trusts, special needs trusts, asset protection trusts, and Totten trusts.
