The
Essentials of Real Estate Law for Paralegals
by Lynn T.
Slossberg -- Written with the entry-level paralegal in mind, this text embraces a
systems approach that builds proficiency in real estate file management. It
provides a foundation of legal concepts, furnishes procedures on how to handle
various client matters and involves the reader through exercises. It includes
information for all subjects covered in basic paralegal real estate texts
including the most common real estate litigation a paralegal may encounter. It
also illustrates a commercial closing from beginning to end. The instructor's
manual provides a synopsis for each chapter, a suggested instructor approach,
answers to review questions, and highlights areas where state-specific materials
need to be introduced. Clearly defined chapter objectives, reinforcing
summaries, hypothetical client matters, ethical questions, practical assignments
and an extensive glossary make this a well-rounded text on the essentials of
real estate law for the paralegal.
Real
Estate for Paralegals by Mary Louis Kurr -- Key Benefit: Using a minimum of technicality and a
light-hearted approach, this innovative book focuses on the paralegal's role in
a real estate transaction — rather than on the abundance of documents involved.
It demonstrates that the actual job is not “just paperwork” but dealing with
real people at an emotional time in their lives, and it shows how good
paralegals can make a difference in their clients' lives and the working
conditions of the other professionals involved. Key Topics: Follows, from
beginning to end, a fictional story of one real estate transfer with a built-in
problem (“the garden variety purchase of a home”). Exposes readers not only to
the legal aspects of the transaction, and to the parts played by the
professionals, their expertise, their language, and the timeline of the
transaction, but to the human motivation and interaction of the people, clients,
and co-workers involved. Concentrates on the application of specific paralegal
skills and demonstrates the transference of skills from other areas, e.g. legal
research, psychology, and interpersonal communications. Dissects deeds from
different states to show that all deeds are basically the same. Features
accompanying interactive software -- DOCS ON DISK (title documents); The Name
Game (real estate terminology). Market: For paralegals working with real estate
transactions.

by Charles P. Nemeth -- Horn on
Horn: What Van Horn and his
partner in scholarship have here done for the legal community is beyond measure.
I never before imagined that real estate foreclosure could be at one time so
interesting and so utterly entertaining. I attribute both to the eloquent style
of the authors, who weave one of the finest paralegal tapestries to be found in
ink. Once I picked this book up, I could not put it down (and my arms became
very tired after the 22nd hour). I toast you, Grayson Van Horn. You have
bestowed upon the world a rare piece of writing
