Looking for Texas Real Estate Attorney Familiar With Seller Finance / Subject-To Deal

Hey BP Fam —

I’m in the process of structuring a potential seller finance or subject-to deal with my neighbor here in Granbury, TX, and I want to make sure everything is done by the book and protects both parties.

Quick context:

  • Seller is elderly and very trusting, so I’m prioritizing clarity, legality, and peace of mind for her
  • Property has an existing mortgage at 4.375%
  • She’s open to letting me take over payments, and we’re looking at options like subject-to, wraparound, or seller finance
  • I’m not looking to cut corners or “hack” the process — just want to do it the right way, avoid trouble, and keep this deal safe, simple, and clean

I’m specifically looking for a real estate attorney in Texas (bonus if you’re familiar with Hood County or the DFW area) who:

✅ Understands creative finance deals (SubTo, wraps, seller carries)

✅ Can draft documents that protect both sides

✅ Has worked with title companies that are SubTo-friendly

✅ Ideally understands how to minimize due-on-sale risk

Any referrals or recommendations would be seriously appreciated!

Thanks in advance
Weston
