Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an attorney to buy or sell a home in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania does not legally require an attorney for real estate transactions, but having one protects your interests. An attorney reviews contracts, ensures clear title, identifies potential issues, and handles the legal aspects of closing — protecting one of the largest financial transactions of your life.
What is a title search and why is it important?
A title search examines public records to confirm the seller has legal right to sell the property and that there are no outstanding liens, encumbrances, or ownership disputes. Title insurance then protects you against any issues that the search may have missed.
What zoning boards does Stover McGlaughlin represent?
We serve as solicitors to zoning hearing boards for State College Borough, Milesburg Borough, College Township, Ferguson Township, Gregg Township, Patton Township, and Walker Township — giving us deep expertise in Centre County zoning matters.
