Real Estate Law

The Alexandria, Virginia area has great commercial and residential real estate opportunities for real estate investors, first-time homebuyers, and large Virginia corporations. However, before beginning the process of purchasing or investing in real estate, it is critical for any person interested in buying or investing in Alexandria real estate to hire a knowledgeable real estate attorney. Antonoplos & Associates group of Alexandria attorneys has been recognized as one of the top real estate law firms in Alexandria and commonly assists clients with the acquisition, sale, leasing, management, financing and development of office, industrial, retail, and residential real estate projects. Furthermore, our Alexandria real estate practice focuses on advising investors, property owners, buyers, sellers, lenders, receivers, brokers, landlords, and tenants throughout Alexandria on the purchase and sale of real estate.

Even if an experienced, knowledgeable, and trusted Alexandria real estate attorney consults you on each of your real estate issues, litigation 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 Alexandria real estate litigation lawyers analyze each individual lawsuit. From this initial examination, we can examine our opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, and then attack these claims in the areas that provide 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 Alexandria 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 exposing each of our opponents’ weaknesses.

Probate Law

At Antonoplos & Associates, we handle dozens of probate cases each year. From this experience, we have developed an efficient and cost-effective approach to this costly process. Our attorneys’ main goal is to help our clients navigate Virginia Probate Administration and Virginia Probate Litigation in the Alexandria area. For many people, the passing of a loved one is the first time that they will experience Virginia probate law. Because of this, most individuals are unaware of the Virginia probate process and need guidance to navigate probating a loved one’s estate. Additionally, many people don’t know who to turn to for guidance regarding Virginia probate law. With no understanding of the Virginia probate laws and little professional guidance, family members will fight, stalling the probate process, and create expensive legal conflict. If a dispute arises between family members, our experienced probate attorneys will provide the counsel that our clients need. When it’s time to litigate a probate estate, our professional team of probate lawyers are here to represent your interests and make sure that the probate estate is handled properly and distributed according to the terms of the law.

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

Trust Administration

Trust Administration is an overwhelming and strenuous process. This is even more so if the trustee is someone who is unfamiliar with financial management and the complex trust administration process. However, the trust process can be tough for beneficiaries of trusts. Thus, the combination of complex laws, the amount of assets, and the number of people involved in trust administration can be too much to handle for someone inexperienced 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. For more than two decades, Antonoplos & Associates’ group of Alexandria trust administration attorneys has advised trustees concerning any issues that stem from trust administration. Our guidance ensures that each of our clients distributes trust assets correctly and efficiently while minimizing associated tax burdens. Furthermore, our team of trust administration lawyers assists 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 Alexandria trust administration attorneys commonly assists clients with establishing, overseeing, 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.
