BOUNDARY LINE DISPUTES

Boundary line disputes between neighboring landowners are some of the most litigated cases in real estate law. Having an experienced attorney assist you in litigation is highly recommended.

REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

From drafting Purchase and Sale Agreements through the closing of a real estate transaction, a real estate attorney can assist you with all aspects during the sale and transfer of land to another party.

EASEMENTS

Do you need to grant someone the right to use and travel over your land? Is another party abusing easement rights? Easement disputes are often contentious. Consider having an experienced real estate attorney advocate for your side.

TITLE DISPUTES

Title disputes with real estate can arise from errors on deeds or by failing to comply with the proper procedure in a real estate transaction. Title disputes may also involve your title insurance policy. A real estate attorney can identify these issues and formulate a plan to correct and address your title dispute.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

Are you the Lessor or Lessee in a commercial real estate transaction? The rights and responsibilities of parties in a commercial lease are predominantly controlled by written agreement. A real estate attorney can assist you with drafting and complying with the complexities of commercial leases.

PREMISES LIABILITY

Is a tenant or customer of your business accusing you of an injury while on your property? Or, have you been injured due to the fault of a landowner? An experienced real estate attorney can assist you in determining whether there is liability exposure or any possibility of collecting monetary damages due to an injury.

FORECLOSURES

Are you facing foreclosure or need to commence foreclosure proceedings? A real estate attorney can make attempts to stop imminent foreclosures or institute judicial foreclosures to enforce deeds of trust when the debtor has violated the terms of your agreement.

PARTITION ACTIONS

Are you the Co-Owner of real property and you want to sell the property but the other owner does not want to sell? Or, is the other owner trying to sell the property but you want to continue living on the property? Are you in a disagreement with the other owner about refinancing the mortgage on the property? Mr. Derenick can assist you with any of these scenarios and can either force the sale of a property or protect your rights to continue to reside on the property.
