An Orland Park Client
Berggren Law serves Orland Park buyers, sellers, and families, with attention to the Cook County procedures that govern transactions there.
Orland Park is the largest of the communities the firm serves, a Cook County village of nearly fifty-nine thousand people incorporated in 1892. Known as the "World's Golf Center" and home to the Orland Square Mall, Centennial Park, and Lake Sedgewick, it is the retail and residential hub of the Southwest Suburbs.
With that size comes a busy, varied real estate market: established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions near the Will County edge, condos and townhomes along the LaGrange Road corridor, and a steady stream of estate matters in a community with many long-time residents. Most of Orland Park sits in Cook County, with a small portion extending into Will County.
Berggren Law handles Orland Park closings, deed work, and probate with attention to Cook County's recording and transfer-tax procedures, which differ in their mechanics from the Will County system that governs much of the firm's other work.

Orland Park is a short drive from the firm's Mokena office. Because most of the village is in Cook County, the firm applies the Cook County recording and transfer-tax procedures, while still confirming the small Will County portion when it applies, so your closing uses the right process from the start.

Part of the firm's 5.0 rating across its Google reviews.
Most of Orland Park is in Cook County, with a small portion in Will County near the 60467 area. The county controls where the deed records and where probate is filed, so the firm confirms it at the outset.
Sellers customarily pay the state and Cook County transfer tax unless the contract provides otherwise. Because it is negotiable, the firm makes sure the contract is clear on who pays any county or municipal tax.
