Common Reasons for Real Estate Litigation

Most of the time it becomes essential to file real estate litigation due to conflicts that may arise. Here are a few significant reasons:
 

• Title Defects: When real estate has an unclear history of ownership (a “title defect”) or if the property was subject to a tax sale, it is often necessary to file an ejectment or a quiet title action to determine ownership interests in the property. If you cannot close the sale of real estate because of a title defect or tax sale, you should consult with an attorney to determine whether litigation is necessary. 
   

• Breach of Contract: There is a contract signed when any property is sold, and the construction takes place. If the seller or buyer fails to perform their duties mentioned in the contract/agreement, then this also leads to real estate litigation. If either party can prove the breach of contract that has occurred, then they can recover the compensation for the actual damages.
   

• Boundary Disputes: If your neighbor builds over the property line, it may be necessary for a court to determine the boundary lines of the properties. Should a boundary line dispute arise, it is always advisable to consult an experienced real estate litigation attorney. 
   

• Wrongful Foreclosure:  When a mortgage company forecloses on your home for the non-payment of a mortgage loan which you have paid in full, you may have a wrongful foreclosure claim. And it is always good practice to consult an experienced real estate litigation attorney upon receipt of a notice of acceleration to discuss your options.
