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.
