In California, courts consider factors such as fairness and available remedies before granting this relief.
A court may order a property transfer when the contract is clear, the property is unique, and damages would not adequately compensate you. Additional considerations include the lack of an adequate substitute and readiness to perform by the other party.
Remedies can include specific performance, injunctions, and, in some cases, damages. The right option depends on the contract terms, property uniqueness, and the surrounding circumstances.
Timeline varies with court calendars and case complexity. Real estate matters can take months to years depending on issues raised and motions filed.
