What Lawyers Need To Know
About Real Estate Appraisal Reports
Robert F. Reilly                              7
Any time valuation is an issue in important real
estate matters such as taxation, condemnation, estate
planning, and commercial litigation, an appraisal re-
port is required. These reports consist of many parts
and usually contain a great deal of data and compu-
tations. However, they are essentially opinions that
can be disputed and challenged. Real estate attorneys
must be familiar with the contents of, and method-
ologies used in, these reports. An illustrative apprais-
al report table of contents and a table of typical city,
neighborhood, and location data are included.
Negotiating Takeover And
Self-Help Rights In Shopping Center
Construction Projects (With Form)
Jacob W. Reby and Marisa L. Byram            27
Shopping center developers often go bankrupt before
completing the project. Anchor and other tenants are
usually the biggest casualties in such project failures.
By adeptly predicting and handling the many diffi-
culties that may arise in takeovers, the anchor retailer
can prevent disaster in a pre-opening developer de-
fault. The authors supply a sample three-party insol-
vent project takeover agreement and sample takeover
language for a site development agreement.

Minimizing Lawyer Liability In Large
Firm Real Estate Practice (With Forms)
Robert A. Creamer                               41
Large firm real estate practice, which often involves rep-
resentation of developers and the creation of invest-
ment vehicles, including limited partnerships, is
fraught with lawyer liability risks. Those risks, although
varied, tend to fall into a few recognizable categories. As
an adjunct to the discussion of these risk categories, the
author supplies a sample I'm not your lawyer letter
and sample scope of representation language.
Dealing With Real Estate Sales
Contracts For Multiple Properties
(With Forms And Checklist)
Earl L. Segal and Michael A. Segal              51
Using a single contract for a multiple-property, portfo-
lio sale requires deft drafting, keen analytical skill, and
an ability to anticipate problems before they happen.
This is especially so if the properties are in different
jurisdictions. The authors include sample provisions
on purchase price allocation, allocation of fees and
expenses, and inability to close on all properties.
