Real estate transactions are complex matters often involving multiple parties and numerous issues beyond the property description and the sale price.
While the parties to commercial transactions are typically sophisticated, those buying and selling residential property often have little experience despite the significance of the event. The help of a real estate attorney can save considerable costs down the road.
Real Estate Transactions
Real estate transactions are complex matters often involving multiple parties and numerous issues beyond the property description and the sale price. While the parties to commercial transactions are typically sophisticated, those buying and selling residential property often have little experience despite the significance of the event. Besides the parties themselves, participants in real estate deals include realtors, lenders, title companies, home inspectors and surveyors, among others. Although realtors may be helpful to the buyer or seller, they are seldom in a position to represent either side's legal interests that is the role of a real estate attorney. Realtors also have a financial investment in the transaction inasmuch as their commissions are based upon the sale price. Sound and timely advice from counsel knowledgeable about matters including contract terms, title issues and inspection/disclosure questions can minimize problems, for both commercial and residential transactions.
Boundary Disputes
The physical extent of ownership of real property is defined by the boundary lines of that property and, despite the best efforts of realtors, lawyers and surveyors, it is not always easy to tell where one person's property ends and another's begins leading to boundary disputes. This is particularly true where owners have constructed improvements such as fences on the wrong side of the legal boundaries, or have used someone else's property as their own for an extended period of time. Boundary litigation is usually complex, requiring reconstruction of historical events and review of old surveys, often going back decades. Other forms of boundary disputes involve incorrect property descriptions and errors in surveying.
Land Access Disputes
In the "bundle of sticks" that comprise real property ownership, one of the most important is access. Without legal access to the land, use of property may be stymied and its value significantly diminished. While urban and suburban developments have clearly defined streets and roads established by recorded plots, the legal right to access rural or mountain property not contiguous to public highways is usually less certain. Without a legal document creating a right of access to land such as an easement, litigation sometimes becomes necessary to establish that right. This is done under various legal theories such as easements by necessity, or prescriptive easements. In recent years with mountain property values increasing significantly, litigants have also asserted claims that particular routes are public roads based on historical use. Land access litigation is a complicated area of the law that can require historical research dating back more than a century, particularly if mining claims are involved.
