Deficiency Judgement
Foreclosing on your real estate might seem like the end of your financial issues. However, if the property’s sale doesn’t raise enough money to settle your debts, the lender could ask the court to issue a deficiency judgment. This could leave you accountable for the remaining amount.

Property Tax
An alleged failure to pay taxes can lead to significant legal repercussions. One of these is the government’s power to attach your real estate to the debt. If this action doesn’t secure the necessary payment, the government may proceed with foreclosing on the property.

Committed to a Personalized Approach, Superior Service, and a Fair Price
When real estate litigation becomes necessary during a course ownership, our attorneys could help identify the reason for a dispute, gather evidence concerning the matter, and protect the rights of clients every step of the way.
Examples of Newport Beach Real Estate Disputes
With a majority of real estate properties in Orange County carrying a value in excess of $1,000,000, it is no surprise that disputes are common. Perhaps the most direct example of a dispute is those that arise during the purchase or sale of land. When a party is attempting to sell land, they must provide a clean title to the purchaser. While it may appear that the property is free from encumbrances or there is no guarantee. If a party purchases land and later finds that there is a claim on the property, this is a common reason for real estate litigation.
Disputes that may arise during the sale of property can also include:
– Arguments over a closing date
– Disagreements regarding which parties are responsible for repairs
– Conflicts over the final sale price or timing of payments
Real estate litigation may also become necessary during the course of typical ownership. This may involve disputes over the fair use of land, concerns about maintenance and improvements, or parties claiming they have rights under a prior deed. A Newport Beach real estate litigation attorney can help identify the reason for a dispute, gather evidence concerning the matter, and protect the rights of clients every step of the way.
The Litigation Process and Demanding a Fair Remedy
When many people think about the term “litigation,” they imagine arguing a case in court before a jury. While this outcome is certainly possible, in reality, litigation begins as soon as there is a disagreement between two parties. As a result, hiring an experienced legal professional to handle a case as soon as possible could bring a resolution to a dispute at an earlier date.
An Orange County real estate litigation lawyer could help bring a case to a close through negotiations and settlement talks. This approach could help resolve the issue without the high costs and time commitments that come from taking a case to trial. At the same time, they work with clients to understand their needs, where they are willing to be flexible, and where they must stand firm. Ideally, this can result in productive talks that are satisfactory to both parties.
In situations where taking a case to trial does become necessary, a dedicated attorney is ready to provide essential guidance. If a client needs to initiate a lawsuit, they can identify the relevant causes of action and submit detailed complaints in accordance with local law. For example, most real estate disputes are disagreements over written contracts. California Civil Code § 337 states that people seeking relief must bring a case to court within four years of the date of the breach. An Orange County property litigation lawyer is prepared to do whatever is necessary to protect the rights of clients.
