Real Estate Law

There are as many different kinds of real estate disputes are there are ways to buy, sell, own, transfer, or use real property. 

Vega & Overton aggressively represents clients in all forms of real property cases, including clients who both wish to bring a lawsuit, and clients who are defending such lawsuits.  Vega & Overton’s real estate cases involve the following allegations or disputes, often in combination with each other:

 

Court ordered sale of real property when one co-owner wants to sell it against the wishes of another co-owner, known as “partition”;

Fraudulent or non-permitted transfer of real property ownership into a family member’s or business partner’s name, called “constructive trust” and/or “fraud” or “misrepresentation”;

Failure by the seller to disclose important facts about real property that were discovered by the buyer after the purchase;

Assertion or denial of easement rights;

Disputes over proper title to property, i.e. “quiet title”;

Unauthorized use of property by non-owners;

Disagreements with title insurers over coverage of property disputes;

Use of real property that constitutes a nuisance to nearby property. 

Vega & Overton’s real property practice is an example of the benefits that flow to our clients from the union between the real property, business, estate planning/probate, and family law practices.  Real property is often co-owned by business partners and family members, and is therefore often the subject of disputes between them. Our pooled resources in those fields ensure that we have at our disposal attorneys able to address virtually any legal issue that arises during a dispute over real property.
