California Real Estate Attorneys
Real property disputes have a way of stopping everything else. A sale cannot close, a refinance stalls, a family cannot settle, or a neighbor will not move a fence that has been in the wrong place for years.
We handle the litigation side of California real property. When the question is who owns what, where the line actually runs, or whether a transfer should stand, that is the work we do.

When people who own a property together cannot agree what to do with it, partition is the court process that ends the deadlock.
Code of Civil Procedure section 874.311 and followingAdverse Possession
Adverse possession is how someone can acquire title by occupying land, and it is also the claim we most often defeat on a single element.
Code of Civil Procedure section 325Easement Litigation
An easement dispute is usually about one thing: someone can no longer get to, or use, something they have always been able to get to.
Title Fraud
A deed that was forged is void, not merely voidable, and that distinction decides most of these cases.
