How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft an Affidavit of Ownership in New Jersey

In 2023, a personal client in New Jersey sought assistance with drafting an affidavit of ownership as part of a home purchase. The client and a partner planned to invest differing amounts into the property, with one contributing 25% and the other 75%, intending to ensure that they would each retain their respective investments if the partnership were to dissolve. The client prioritized having a legally binding document to protect both parties' financial interests. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $495 to $900, all submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of over a week.
