Pasadena Real Estate Litigation Attorney

Real estate transactions can be complicated matters that require all parties to know their part of the law and how it applies. Owning, leasing, buying, selling, becoming a landlord, or even just being a neighbor can determine how that property is valued, transacted, or otherwise used. Real estate law is filled with more complications than just discussing the building or land that are involved in the transaction. It requires all parties to have knowledge of the rules and regulations surrounding real estate to protect all parties against further legal matters, including liens, taxes, insurance disputes, zoning, title issues, and more.

Challenges of California Real Estate Law

California real estate law is complex and can be very challenging because of the abundance of issues that can arise in property transactions, disputes, and other real estate matters. For many individuals and businesses, these challenges could include:

• Understanding California’s real estate law
• Not knowing how localized zoning and land use regulations impact the acquisition of permits for specific projects
• Knowing how real estate laws impact the financial risks of acquiring real estate, including transactions, unexpected costs, and any defect liabilities
• Contracts that are poorly negotiated or drawn up incorrectly
• Discovering environmental issues that cost time and money to resolve, such as contaminated soil and/or water
• Land surveys that lead to disputes over property boundaries
• Other disputes, such as contract breaches, that require extensive legal action to resolve

These common real estate challenges and more can create complications for both individuals and business entities. With an attorney helping to guide you through your specific challenges, you can overcome the complex legal situations that can arise.

How a Real Estate Attorney Can Help

For many legal matters, it may seem advantageous to attempt to resolve them without the help of an attorney. However, with the right attorney, you can receive guidance that can help you make the legal decisions your case needs. With the help of an attorney, you can gain the following benefits:

• Dedicated experience and knowledge on how local regulations and laws dictate transactions, disputes, and other real estate complications
• Ensuring that legal requirements are met for all transactions and disputes to protect from future legal complications, which could lead to financial losses or investment risks
• Review, draft, and negotiate contracts that ensure fair and favorable outcomes, including purchasing agreements, leasing contracts, and construction agreements
• Reviewing and ensuring that titles are clear and free from liens and outstanding legal disputes
• Ensuring that the property is legally available for transaction
• Providing focused and resolute service for clients to ensure their rights are protected
• Representation should any disputes arise surrounding boundaries or breaches of contract
• Peace of mind that you have an experienced attorney on your side who can help resolve your case

Types of Cases We Handle

Regarding the California real estate market, our attorneys can provide guidance in the following areas:

• Commercial Real Estate Closings: These include title insurance. Having an attorney, whether you are a buyer or a seller of commercial property, can be quite beneficial due to the amount of paperwork that is required at closing. An attorney can explain each document to help you understand it.
• Residential Real Estate Closings: These also include title insurance. Most individuals who purchase or sell residential real estate work with a realtor. However, while these individuals are knowledgeable about the market, closings are filled with contracts that are often prepared under the guidance of an attorney. Having one on your side can help you be sure that everything is done properly.
• Commercial Borrowing and Lending: Preparing loan documents, and closing the transactions, constitute the creation of a contract, which should always be handled with the help of an attorney.
• Asset Protection: You may wish for your property to be protected by a corporate category such as a limited liability company, a trust, a land trust, or a corporation. Using one of these categories can help protect your assets. However, knowing which is right for you should be done with an attorney’s aid.
• Commercial Real Estate Contracts: There are several complex questions that could arise in a commercial real estate transaction. Issues could involve the environment of the property, what money will be deposited, or whether there are any contingencies. These questions and others help determine the terms of the contract.

These are a few examples of how our attorneys can help you with your real estate transaction. In addition, we can help with:

• Commercial and residential leases
• Eviction services
• Mortgage foreclosures
• Preparing deeds, mortgages, and other real estate documents
• Other development services
