Real estate litigation is the formal process used to resolve disputes involving property, including title problems, boundary disagreements, lease and purchase contract disputes, mortgage and lien issues, and enforcement of covenants.
Key elements typically include document review, asset and title analysis, discovery, negotiations, and, if necessary, court filings and trial or arbitration to secure a resolution.
Glossary and descriptions of common terms used in real estate litigation to help clients understand the process.
A right to use another person’s land for a specific purpose, such as a driveway or utility line, often recorded in a deed.

Different paths exist to resolve real estate disputes, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and court litigation. The right choice depends on urgency, cost, and desired control over outcomes.
In straightforward disputes with clear evidence and minimal remedies, a focused agreement or injunction may resolve issues quickly without a full trial.
