A deed to land is evidence of ownership of property. The language used in a deed is crucial in setting forth the rights and obligations of the owners. Sometimes, parties can have conflicting interpretations of the language in a deed; or disputes can arise concerning promises among owners of property or rights created due to death of an owner, marriage, divorce, gifts, or sales. Disputes of this nature usually require that a court order be obtained and recorded to clarify the terms of ownership of a property. A court order will typically include the technical, legal description of property and must be properly recorded together with any required tax forms, in order to be effective.
If your situation requires that a court order be obtained, we will file any necessary paperwork required to pursue an order and represent your interests in court, or if possible through arbitration or mediation. In some situations, you must act quickly if you believe title or your rights to land have been infringed upon, or risk the loss of any rights you might otherwise have. If you have any questions regarding the state of title to real property, we can obtain a report regarding title to property, as well as any judgments, liens, encumbrances, easements, etc. affecting the title in order to evaluate your interests in the property
