Property Law

Background

Some attorneys practice real estate law - we practice property law. What's the difference? Real estate law is the area of law that governs the various forms of ownership in real property (i.e., land). Property law encompasses real estate law and personal property law, such as money, negotiable instruments, securities, goods, and intangible assets, including chose in action (e.g.., the right of enforcing by legal proceedings the payment of a debt, or the obtaining money by way of damages for contract, or as a recompense for a wrong).

We assist individual clients with:

The purchase and sale of single family and condominium dwellings and disputes resulting from these transactions;
Resolving commercial and residential landlord/ tenant disputes including representation in eviction matters;
Drafting and reviewing commercial and residential leases;
Drafting and reviewing other documents and contracts such as private mortgages and promissory notes;
Creating nominee trusts for land ownership;
Identifying subsidized housing options for low income or disabled individuals;
Resolving boundary line disputes and curing title defects;
Identification and eradication of environmental issues associated with home ownership;
Identifying options to prevent home foreclosure;
Collecting on money judgments and verified debts.
