Real Property

The survey period, from June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2009, has been a volatile period for attorneys who regularly practice in areas involving real estate. Each day the media is replete with stories involving the country's historic economic crisis, and the effects can be seen in Georgia neighborhoods and in resulting legislation. Given our point in history, the cases and legislation discussed in this Survey were chosen for their significance to real property law and to update attorneys who regularly or occasionally practice or render opinions regarding real estate law.
