Bailey Law Firm handles real estate disputes such as partition actions and disclosure claims. Partition actions involve two or more owners of real property who disagree on what to do with the property. Because real property is not subject to compromise, i.e. it cannot both be sold and occupied, court intervention is necessary to settle the dispute. Typically a partition action seeks a court order to sell the property. The court oversees the process including reviewing and approving any offers.

The parties also often disagree about how sale proceeds should be split. Our team presents evidence and makes arguments necessary to help ensure our clients are reimbursed for property related expenses, improvements, and the like.

Real estate disputes often arise when unmarried people buy a home together. People often include a non-spouse on a deed for reasons unrelated to intending the person to co-own the property, without understanding the legal repercussions. Real estate disputes can also arise when beneficiaries inherit a property.
