Do You Know What Qualifies as an Appurtenance?

An appurtenance is a permanent addition to a real property, such as an in-ground pool. Sometimes it can be tricky to determine whether something is an appurtenance and must stay with the property when it is sold or whether it is personal property that can be taken by the seller when they leave.

Scott Galloway and Howard Collens are very knowledgeable in the areas of probate, estate planning, elder law and real estate. They are actively involved in the legal community and work hard to stay on the cutting edge of their practice areas. And, they are very kind - I really enjoy working with them.

Galloway and Collens has been my go-to law firm in the Detroit Metro area for years. Pleasant and easy to deal with, my experience with each of their attorneys has always been very good. They've helped me with various real estate issues such as title changes, land contract forfeitures, and now property management issues. Best of all they are very responsive and reasonably priced. I highly recommend.
