Real Estate conveyancing is the process by which a Buyer acquires property from a Seller. After the parties enter into a Purchase & Sales Agreement the Buyer is responsible for securing financing. All lenders require a Title Search to ensure the title is clear of any defects. The Closing Attorney often acts as the title attorney for the Buyer to complete the title search.
Having an estate plan is important to ensure that all of your assets are distributed in accordance with your instructions and designate a person to carry out your instructions. Putting a formal estate plan in place is does contemplate the morbid thoughts of your demise, but identifying your goals will ultimately give you peace.

I recently worked with Melissa and her team, and they went above and beyond for my clients. We had a last minute emergency, and though it was not her responsibility, she took extra time and energy to make extra phone calls, reach out to other parties, and stayed in contact until the emergency was resolved. Melissa is a great attorney and a wonderful person.
Her team was also on top of everything, timely and organized. A pleasure to work with.

My experience with D'Ellena Law Office was fantastic! The closing was easy and efficient. The best and most valuable part of working with D'Ellena was their professionalism and willingness to help. I had a few questions after the closing and they not only responded quickly but they stood by me and helped to see my issue through until it was 100% resolved! I would highly recommend using D'Ellena Law Office whenever and wherever possible.

I just closed on my first home, D'Ellena Law assisted me in an incredible compacity with speed and accuracy. I could not have asked for a better team to help me through the otherwise arduous process. They answer questions quickly, never make you feel like a burden and always treat their clients with respect. Thank you all so much for your support and dedication during this exciting time in my life.

Melissa was awesome to work with. She was very helpful on the day of closing and made all parties feel comfortable during the process. Buying your first home can be stressful and with the giant stack of paperwork in front of you that needs to be signed can be overwhelming. Melissa walked me through the entire process in a calm demeanor and it was a successful closing!

We recently sold our home and chose Attorney Melissa D'Ellena from D'Ellena Law Offices as our closing attorney. We couldn't be happier with the service. Melissa walked us through the entire process and explained everything in easy to understand language. She was quick to respond to questions and took the time to go through every document line by line. Melissa was diligent to ensure every penny was accounted for at the closing. We are looking forward to working with her on our new home purchase and are recommending her to our family and friends. Kevin and Pam.

I had the pleasure of working with Melissa to close on my first home. The process is daunting, and yet, Melissa always took the time to work with me on any questions I had to relieve my anxiety. She was prompt, knowledgable, and very friendly. I always felt that I was in good hands, informed, and ready to move forward. The closing went off without a hitch. I will gladly be recommending her to my friends and family.

We recently had the pleasure of having Attorney Melissa D'Ellena taking care of our closing that we had gone thru with Robert Wright @ Movement Mortgage. We could not have been happier. Melissa was very… professional, knowledgeable & very kind. Also her assistant Tabitha was great as well. Thank you so much D'Ellena Law. We will definitely recommend you to all!!
