Real Estate Attorney in Highland Village, TX — Protecting Significant Real Estate Investments

Contact Us

Highland Village’s real estate market reflects its affluence — a median household income above $150,000, lakefront homes on Lewisville Lake, and a homeownership rate above 90 percent. In a market where transactions represent substantial sums, attorney review of every document before signing is not optional.

The team at The Morris Legal Group has represented real estate clients throughout Highland Village and the greater DFW area for over 28 years of combined experience — developers, builders, individual buyers and sellers, commercial property owners, HOA clients, and investors.

Roy G. Morris — Real Estate Attorney with Accounting, Tax Law, and Developer-Level Experience

For Highland Village’s higher-value real estate transactions, financial precision matters as much as legal accuracy — which is where Roy G. Morris’s background sets him apart. Before going to law school and eventually founding The Morris Legal Group, he spent years as a tax specialist at Arthur Andersen, one of the most respected accounting firms in the world.

His J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law and Master’s Degree in Taxation from DePaul University led to two federal appointments — leading litigation teams that closed banking and lending institutions, and later developing the in-house litigation section of the FDIC. For Highland Village buyers and sellers, that means a contract review that accounts for the tax consequences of the transaction, not just its legal terms.

Frequently Asked Questions — Real Estate Attorney in Highland Village, TX

Q: What legal issues are specific to Lake Lewisville waterfront properties in Highland Village?
Waterfront properties are adjacent to a reservoir managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, which holds easement rights over the shoreline.

Q: What are the tax implications of selling a high-value Highland Village home?
Sales may trigger capital gains liability above the federal exclusion for primary residence gain. Proper tax planning before a sale can reduce the tax impact.

Q: Should a Highland Village property owner use a deed or a trust to transfer real estate?
Property can transfer through probate or through a revocable living trust during the owner’s lifetime — a trust avoids probate and keeps the transfer private.
