Please be aware that matters of zoning and environmental hazards are not included <br /> in a standard title search. Please notify me immediately if you require additional <br /> information or assistance concerning these two issues. Zoning laws affect setback and use <br /> requirements to name a few. Environmental hazards include, but are not limited to,the existence <br /> of radon gas, lead-based paint, underground storage tanks and asbestos. We recommend the <br /> County procure a new survey should it decide to accept the Property since the survey could <br /> reveal encumbrances and other matters that will not be identified in our title search. <br /> Closing <br /> We have not been asked to provide any closing services related to this transaction. <br /> Legal Fees & Expenses <br /> My fees for performing the legal work outlined herein are as follows: (1) $85.00 dollars <br /> per hour for the services of my firm's real estate paralegal who will collect the necessary <br /> documents from the office of the Register of Deeds and otherwise assist me with this matter; and <br /> (2) $235.00 per hour for all work I perform.
