Biography

Joe Babb has been practicing law in Austin since 1985. Starting his practice just in time for the great Texas real estate depression of the 1980s following the savings and loan crisis, Joe by necessity learned how to be creative in resolving difficult legal issues related to troubled real estate loans and disintegrating partnerships. He continues to represent clients pursue and resolve issues related to real estate ownership and transfers.Joe started working with REALTORS® in law school, and hasn’t stopped. He worked on creating the original form documents for the Texas Association of REALTORS® and the Austin Board of REALTORS®. Joe continues those relationships today, working closely with REALTOR® associations, REALTORS®, and their clients. If it touches real estate, Joe has probably worked on it. He has worked on many and varied commercial and residential real estate transactions, and has also handled the litigation which sometimes, unfortunately, arises from those transactions. He knows every deal is different, every deal is special to his clients, and every deal can come unraveled if not properly structured.Working so closely with real estate, Joe has also developed experience in handling probate of decedent’s estates and guardianships, particularly those involving real property issues or contested claims. Joe has also been appointed by probate courts as administrator of estates with complex real estate or business issues, and in some instances as guardian of estates of incapacitated persons. Joe can also help with planning your estate and contingency planning for possible future incapacity.
