Real Estate Litigation FAQs

At Goodkin APC, we help clients resolve their real estate litigation issues. Real estate litigation is a complicated matter, which is why we help answer our clients’ questions quickly. Having represented clients since forming in 2006, we have been asked the following many times:

What is real estate litigation, and when might I need a California litigation attorney?

Real estate litigation involves the legal process of disputing a property matter, such as ownership of land, breach of contracts, boundary disputes, title disputes, failure to disclose, zoning violations, construction defects and fraud. These matters can be resolved with the right steps.

However, because many of these issues require extensive knowledge of Los Angeles real estate laws, it is often important to reach out to a litigation attorney. Our litigation attorneys can advise clients of their legal rights. We can also help clients understand the issues, draft contracts and take steps to resolve a real estate dispute in or out of court.

What is the process for resolving boundary and easement disputes in California?

Two of the most common and complicated real estate issues are boundary and easement disputes. Our attorneys can help resolve a boundary or easement dispute by hiring a surveyor, reviewing deeds and other relevant records and negotiating with the other party to find an amicable solution. If the other party is not willing to settle a dispute, then the issue may go to court. At that point, our attorneys will aggressively assert your rights.

How does adverse possession work in California, and what are my rights?

In California, adverse possession allows someone to obtain legal ownership of land if the land is occupied for five years and property taxes are paid regularly. Our attorneys can help you protect your property against adverse possession claims or assert your right to a property that you have long held and claimed as your own.

What steps should I take if I discover construction defects after purchase?

If a home buyer discovers defects in their newly purchased home, they could take legal action to remedy the issues. It is often important to document home defects with photos and inspection reports and identify responsible parties for the defect so that legal action can be taken. Because these issues can be complex, experienced legal guidance is essential.
