Contract Disputes

Contracts play a major role in any real estate transaction. Whether you have recently purchased or sold property, have entered into a tenancy agreement, or have a contract to build on land, enforcing your rights through contracts is critical. Sadly, disputes around such matters often necessitate litigation to protect your rights. In such cases, a knowledgeable attorney could be a beneficial ally.

Contract disputes can have a devastating effect on a business or a personโ€™s finances. With the help of an Orange County contract dispute lawyer, parties may be able to find mutual ground and enter into a settlement. However, it could be necessary to file a lawsuit in a civil court demanding enforcement of your rights. In such situations, a seasoned legal professional can help to convince the court and jury to interpret a contract in a favorable way and to resolve the matter in your favor.

Land Use

Land use litigation involves disputes between private parties and other landowners or the government concerning the legal use of real estate. These generally involve alleged violations of local, state, or federal laws that determine how an owner may develop or use the land. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement as to how to settle the dispute, litigation may become necessary.

This is where a seasoned legal professional may be able to help. A Newport Beach land use litigation lawyer could evaluate the laws that control the issue at hand and compare them to the actions of all parties. They could then file all necessary court documents and present arguments before judges and juries that help support your position

Property And Neighbor Dispute

Owning property or living in a rented space may mean dealing with difficult neighbors or landlords. The simple fact is that you have the right to quiet enjoyment of your living space as well as the right to expect reasonable protection of your property. People who violate these rights must immediately stop and compensate you for your losses.

Deficiency Judgement

The foreclosure on your real estate may seem to be the end of your financial problems. However, if a subsequent sale of the property fails to bring funds sufficient to cover your debts, the lender may ask a court to create a deficiency judgement. This could leave you responsible for the remaining payments.

An Orange County deficiency judgement lawyer could help contest the creation or legality of these orders. They could argue that the law does not allow their creation due to the type of loan or that the kind of property itself is exempt from these collection efforts.

Property Tax

An alleged failure to pay taxes can have serious legal consequences. Not least among these is the ability of the government to attach your real estate to this debt. If this attachment still does not result in a proper payment, the government may move to foreclose on the property.

A Newport Beach property tax foreclosure lawyer is prepared to help. They could work to dispute the legality of the lien, evaluate payments that you have made on your taxes, and even negotiate a settlement with the tax authorities that could result in the end of the lien that led to the foreclosure case.

Estavillo Law

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 property in the 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 offer a valid deed to the purchaser. However, these deeds may guarantee that the property is free from encumbrance or make no such promises. 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 as to which parties have the obligation to make repairs
  • Arguments concerning the final sale price or timing of payments

Real estate litigation may also become necessary during the course of typical ownership. This may involve arguments over the fair use of land, concerns over maintenance and improvements, or even parties making a claim that they have rights under a prior deed. An Orange County real estate litigation attorney could 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 โ€œlitigation,โ€ 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 a seasoned legal professional to handle a case as soon as possible could bring a resolution to a dispute at an earlier date.

A real estate litigation lawyer in Newport Beach, Orange County could help bring a case to a close through negotiations and settlement talks. This could help bring a resolution without the high costs and time commitments that come from taking a case to court. 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 court does become necessary, a dedicated attorney is ready to provide key guidance. If a client needs to initiate a case in court, they can identify the relevant cause of action and submit detailed complaints in accordance with local law. For example, most real estate disputes are disagreements over contracts. California Civil Code ยง 337 says 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 ready to do what is necessary to protect the rights of clients.
