Frequently asked questions

What should a buyer or seller preserve after a real estate dispute starts?

Preserve the purchase agreement, amendments, escrow documents, inspection reports, disclosures, emails, text messages, photos, repair records, title documents, and any notices exchanged between the parties.

What evidence matters in a nondisclosure claim?

Important evidence may include seller disclosure forms, inspection records, contractor estimates, prior repair records, communications about the defect, photos, expert opinions, and proof of what the buyer knew before closing.

When is a partition action appropriate?

A partition action may be appropriate when co-owners cannot agree about selling, dividing, or managing jointly owned property. The court may order sale, division, accounting, or related relief depending on the facts.

Can real estate disputes be resolved without trial?

Often, yes. Negotiation, mediation, settlement agreements, repairs, price adjustments, buyouts, or lease modifications may resolve a dispute before trial. Some matters still require litigation to preserve rights or obtain court orders.
