We provide assistance in the negotiation and preparation of contracts for the purchase, sale, or lease of real property. We provide legal assistance in matters involving easements, rights of way, boundary lines, hazardous materials, water rights, mechanics' liens, commercial and residential landlord/tenant matters, construction defects, foreclosures, receiverships, water law, and environmental law. The firm also provides expertise in assisting in the development of commercial and residential properties, including representation before governmental agencies, and preparation of common interest subdivision management documents (CC&R's, Articles, By-laws of homeowners associations).
A title dispute can arise when multiple parties claim competing interest in the same piece of real estate. The claim may relate to the proper owner or whether a valid mortgage exists on the property. Such disputes may also arise when a title company has failed to discover a claim against the real estate. In such instances, it is often necessary and critical to obtain a court judgment to establish who the legal owner is to the real estate, known as quieting title. Our firm has handled numerous actions on behalf of title companies, corporations and individuals.
Many people who own property and want to subdivide it or conduct a business on the property are overwhelmed by the requirements imposed by the government bureaucracy. We can advise you on how to proceed and help you navigate through the different government agencies so that at the end of the day you can do what you want with your property. For over 29 years we have assisted hundreds of clients and to obtain entitlements before local technical advisory committees, planning commissions and board of supervisors including general plan amendments, zoning amendments, use permits, variances, processing of land divisions pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act and the California Environmental Quality Act. Our representation extends to clients with issues concerning the State of California Williamson Act, aka the Land Conservation Act including the handling of immediate cancellation projects on behalf of landowners to remove the land from the Williamson Act.
