I would also ask my attorney about the advisability recording a copy of the contract or an affidavit of interest as I think it's possible the seller may have found someone willing to pay more for the property and I'd want a third party to be aware of my contract interest in the property.Lastly, I'd make sure the attorney I hired specializes in real property law, particularly in the county where the property lies.

Squatters can now be locked out of a property and their possessions removed, but a landlord CANNOT physically remove the squatters themselves.The local police are supposed to enforce these laws and assist landlords in removing squatters.The reality is that when you call the Detroit Police to remove squatters:1) The police often don’t know/care about squatter laws and state you must take the squatters to court to evict them.
